How to Make 7 Up Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes with a mixer).
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup 7 Up, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon extract.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
