Ingredients

Cake

1 ½ cups butter (3 sticks) unsalted - room temperature
3 cups granulated sugar
5 eggs room temperature
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
3 cups 7-Up soda or any lemon-lime soda

Glaze

1 ½ cups confectioner’s sugar
2 tablespoons 7-Up soda or any lemon-lime soda
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Cake

Preheat the oven to 350°.
Prepare a 12-cup bundt pan by greasing it WELL with butter and dusting it flour.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until fluffy, about six minutes. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well between each addition and scraping down the sides as needed.
Next, add the lemon juice and vanilla to the batter. Blend until mixed.
Add the flour 1 cup at a time, alternating with the soda. Scrape down the sides as needed.
Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
Bake for 65 to 75 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake returns clean.
Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes before flipping the cake out of the pan onto a serving plate. Allow the cake to cool completely on the wire rack.

Glaze

Whisk together the confectioner’s sugar, soda, and lemon juice until smooth.
Pour the glaze over the cake.
Slice the cake and serve.
