Instructions
- Cream Together: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully blended before adding the next.
- Mix in Extract: Stir in the extract of your choice, whether almond or lemon, to infuse the cake with delightful flavor.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with the 7-Up until all ingredients are well combined.
- Bake: Pour the batter into a prepared bundt pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes. Then, reduce the temperature to 300°F (150°C) and continue baking for an additional 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Notes: For a heavier and denser cake, you may use 2 3/4 sticks of butter. This recipe shines with either pure almond or lemon extract, making it truly exceptional.
Enjoy the ultimate experience of this tender cake at your next gathering, and watch it disappear just as quickly as it did at ours!
