3. Instructions for 7Up Pound Cake
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2: Cream the Sugar and Butter
In a stand mixer, cream the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Incorporating the Wet Ingredients
Slowly introduce the eggs, one at a time, allowing each to blend evenly.
Add the lemon juice, lemon extract, and vanilla extract to the batter.
Step 4: Incorporating the Dry Ingredients and Seven Up
Alternately add the all-purpose flour and the Seven-Up soda to the batter, allowing the mixer to work its magic, resulting in a smooth, velvety mixture.
Step 5: Baking the Seven Up Cake
Pour the batter into a prepared bundt pan and gently place it into the preheated oven. Let it bake for approximately 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the cake’s center comes out clean, indicating its readiness.
Once the cake emerges from the oven, allow it to rest on a wire rack for 15 to 20 minutes. This period of rest allows the cake to settle before gracefully releasing itself from the pan.
Step 6: Making the Icing
While the cake cools, prepare the glaze by combining confectioners sugar, lemon juice, and a touch of Seven-Up soda.
Drizzle this enchanting glaze over the cooled cake, letting it cascade down the sides.
After allowing the glaze to set for 15 minutes, it’s time to cut a slice and savor the captivating blend of flavors and textures.
So, whether shared at gatherings, on your holiday dessert table or savored as a comforting treat, this unique pound cake is bound to leave a impression and a lasting taste of delightful indulgence.
