Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups unsalted butter
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 5 pieces large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup 7 Up soda
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan, ensuring all crevices are covered to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will take about 5 minutes using a stand mixer or hand mixer on medium speed.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Make sure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the mixture, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure the cake stays tender.
Gently fold in the lemon zest, vanilla extract, and 7 Up soda. The soda will provide a light and airy texture to the batter.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the 7 Up Pound Cake as-is or with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of glaze, or a scoop of whipped cream.
