Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup 7 Up soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan, ensuring that all nooks and crannies are covered for easy release.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
Gradually add the flour to the mixture, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour in the 7 Up soda, vanilla extract, and lemon extract. Continue mixing on low speed until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are fully combined.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the cake as-is, or dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
