Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 cup 7 Up soda (or any lemon-lime soda)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan thoroughly.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed for 5-7 minutes until light and fluffy.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  6. Mix in the vanilla and lemon extracts until well combined.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the 7 Up soda. Mix on low speed until just combined.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
  11. Carefully invert the Bundt pan onto a wire rack and tap gently to release the cake.
  12. Mix 1 cup of powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice (or more 7 Up) until smooth.
  13. Once the cake is cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
  14. Slice the cake and serve as is, or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
  15. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of lemon zest to the batter.
  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best results.
  • If you prefer a less sweet cake, you can reduce the amount of sugar in the glaze.
