Ingredients

1 1/2 cups butter softened
3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
5 large eggs
3 cups cake flour
1/2 cup 7 Up room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp lemon extract
Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
3 Tbsp 7 Up room temperature
1 tsp lemon extract
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter and flour a standard bundt pan. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk, whip the softened butter for 2 minutes.
Gradually add the granulated sugar and salt. After all has been added whip on high speed for 7 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time beating well on medium speed after each addition. Switch to the beater attachment.
Gradually add the flour alternately with the 7 Up. Mix on low speed until all of the flour has been added. Beat in the lemon and vanilla extracts. Stop and scrape the sides of the bowl periodically.
Pour the batter into the bundt pan and spread evenly. Bounce on the counter a couple of times to settle and release air bubbles.
Bake for 70-85 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes back clean. Cool in the pan for 30 minutes then remove and place onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
To make the glaze, mix together the powdered sugar, 7 up, vanilla and lemon extracts until smooth. Drizzle over the cake.

Notes

If preferred this cake can be baked at 300°F for 90 minutes. Check the cake after 1 hour and cover with aluminum foil to prevent over browning, if needed.
