How to Make 7 Up Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C) and grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes with a mixer).
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  5. 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.
  6. Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon extract.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
