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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
Step 4
Gradually add the flour to the mixture, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 70-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Slice and serve the cake as-is, or dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
