You might want to compare a 7-Up cake to the cake you wish to make and see how much 7-Up is used, and try a similar amount of lemon soda. Otherwise, as Alice suggested, it may be best to substitute lemon extract for the vanilla extract. Depending on the flavor of cake you want, you can try one of the following extracts in place of vanilla in a white cake: orange, lemon, raspberry, maple, almond, or perhaps a combination of chocolate extract and mint. If I make a chocolate cake, I add a teaspoon of raspberry extract, or a teaspoon of mint extract. Next time, I may try a half teaspoon of each;--i.e., raspberry and mint.
