Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon lemon extract
• 7 fluid ounces lemon-lime flavored carbonated beverage
• 0.5 cup shortening

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and lemon extracts. Beat in the flour alternately with the lemon-lime soda, mixing just until incorporated.

Step 3

Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool on a cake rack for 30 minutes before removing from the pan.
