Ingredients

• 5 eggs
• 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
• 3 cups white sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 cup lemon-lime carbonated beverage (such as 7Up®)
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups butter, softened

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Generously grease a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt).

Step 2

Make the cake: Beat white sugar and butter together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in flour, 1 cup at a time, blending well after each addition until batter is smooth; stir in lemon extract. Mix lemon-lime beverage into batter and pour into the prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove cake from the pan immediately by placing a wire cooling rack over the base of the cake and inverting the pan to release.

Step 4

Make the glaze: Beat confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium until glaze is smooth. Pour glaze over warm cake; let cool completely.
