7-Up Pound Cake

I screw this cake up every single time I make it. It overflows. And yet I’m still including it here because even as some sort of volcanic abomination, it’s delicious. If you figure it out, lemme know.

7-Up Pound Cake

The crunchy bits of lemony goodness are sooooo good.

Prep time: 15 MinCook time: 1 H & 10 MTotal time: 1 H & 25 M

Ingredients

For the Cake

• 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cups white sugar
• 5 eggs
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup 7-Up soda
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• Zest of one lime
• Zest of one lemon

For the Glaze

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 2 tablespoons 7-Up soda

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Liberally (and I mean it!) grease and flour a Bundt pan. If you think you've greased it well, grease it again. Seriously. Set aside.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs in, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the lemon and lime juice, lemon and lime zests, and vanilla extract to combine. Then, alternating with 7-Up and flour, add each gradually until a thick and smooth batter comes together.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared (and very well-greased and floured!) Bundt pan and bake for approx. 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean. Leave in pan for about 20 minutes before carefully inverting to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. To make glaze, in a medium bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients. Drizzle on top of the cake and allow glaze to set before cutting into slices.
