Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1-1/2 cups butter softened
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 5 large eggs room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup 7UP soda
For the Glaze
  • 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons 7UP soda to reach desired consistency
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon or lime zest optional

Equipment

  • 10-in. fluted or plain tube pan
  • Large bowl
  • Small bowl
  • Wire rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted or plain tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon juice and vanilla. Add flour alternately with 7UP, beating well after each addition.
  3. Transfer batter to the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 65-75 minutes.
  4. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. For the glaze, in a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and enough 7UP to reach the desired consistency. If desired, stir in zest. Drizzle over the cake.
