7-Up Pound Cake

ngredients

1 & ½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened

3 cups white sugar

5 eggs

2 Tbsp lemon juice

2 Tbsp lime juice

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup 7-Up Soda

3 cups all-purpose flour

Zest of one lime

Zest of one lemon

GLAZE:

2 cups powdered sugar

1 Tbsp lime juice

2 Tbsp 7-Up Soda

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. 

Liberally (and I mean it!) grease and flour a bundt pan. If you think you've greased it well, grease it again. 

Seriously. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. 

Add the eggs in, one at a time, beating well after each addition. 

Beat in the lemon and lime juice, lemon and lime zests, and vanilla extract to combine. 

Then, alternating with 7-Up and flour, add each gradually until a thick and smooth batter comes together.

Pour the batter into the prepared (and very well greased and floured!) bundt pan and bake for approx. 

60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean. 

Leave in pan for about 20 minutes before carefully inverting to a wire rack to cool completely.

To make glaze, in a medium bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients. 

Drizzle on top of the cake and allow glaze to set before cutting into slices.
