7 UP POUND CAKE

Category: Cakes

1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
3 cups sugar
5 eggs
3 cups flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon extract
3/4 cup 7 Up

Preheat the oven to 325.

Grease and lightly flour a 10 inch tube pan. Set it aside.

In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the flour and the lemon and vanilla extracts. Beat well. Gently fold in the 7 Up, 1/4 cup at a time. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Transfer the cake from the oven to a wire rack. Let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Unmold the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely. Transfer to a serving platter.
