Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs, room temperature
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup 7UP soda (or similar lemon-lime soda)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and lemon zest. Gradually add to butter mixture, alternating with 7UP, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in lemon juice and vanilla extract.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 65-75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple lemon glaze before serving.
Tips
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense cake.
- Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
