7 Up® Cake

Ingredients

• Cake:
• 3 cups white sugar
• 1 1/2 cups butter, softened
• 5 eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 2 tablespoons lemon extract
• 1 cup lemon-lime carbonated beverage (such as 7Up)
• Glaze:
• 1 cup sifted confectioners’ sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Generously grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt(R)).

Beat white sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy and smooth; add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir flour, 1 cup at a time, blending well after each addition until batter is smooth; stir in lemon extract. Mix lemon-lime beverage into batter and pour into the prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove cake from pan immediately.

Beat confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium until glaze is smooth. Pour glaze over warm cake.
