7up Cake
Ingredients 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) butter or margarine, room temperature 3 cups sugar 5 eggs, room temperature 3 cups cake flour 2 tablespoons pure lemon extract 3/4 cup 7-Up, room temperature Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the rack in the lower third of the oven. Grease and flour a 10" tube pan. Cream the butter in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed for 30 seconds. With the mixer running at medium speed, slowly add the sugar and continue creaming for 3 to 4 minutes longer. Again at medium speed, add the eggs, one at a time, creaming after each addition. Continue creaming for another 2 minutes. Using rubber spatula (not an electric mixer), fold the flour in gradually, about a third at a time, mixing gently but thoroughly. Fold in the lemon extract and 7-Up a third at a time. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 1 1/4 hours (75 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean and the cake begins to withdraw from the sides of the pan. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool thoroughly on a wire rack before slicing. Slice with a serrated knife.
