By Ksteve10

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 c unsalted butter, softened
• 3 c granulated sugar
• 5 eggs
• 3 c all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp lemon extract
• 3/4 cup 7 Up

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 325.

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

3. 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.

4. Bake for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.

5. 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.
