Recipe--7-Up Cake


My Abuelo’s absolute favorite birthday treat is 7-Up cake. Mommy made it especially for him when her side of the family came up to visit in September. I will warn you that this cake is far from healthy. It is a definite TREAT and meant to be eaten in small portions. But it’s very filling and delicious!
 
7-Up Cake
 

3 sticks of butter (1 ½ cups)
3 cups sugar
5 eggs
3 cups cake flour
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cups 7-Up
2 Tablespoons lemon extract
 
Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time and beat well. Sift together flour and salt and add into mixture alternately with 7-Up. Add lemon extract just before pouring batter into a greased and floured tube pan (we used a bundt pan). Bake at 325°F for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Optional: Sift powdered sugar on top for garnish.
