| Yield: | 8 to 10 servings |
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus additional for greasing
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted, plus additional for the pan
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons lemon extract
- 1 cup lemon-lime soda, such as 7Up
- 3 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons lemon-lime soda, such as 7Up
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
Instructions
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease and flour a fluted 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan.
- Beat the granulated sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the flour 1 cup at a time, blending well after each addition, until the batter is smooth; stir in the lemon extract. Mix the lemon-lime soda into the batter and pour into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
- For the glaze: Beat the confectioners’ sugar, milk, lemon-lime soda and extracts together in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until the glaze is smooth.
- Pierce holes in the cake with a skewer. Pour 1/4 cup glaze over the cake. Flip the cake onto a serving plate to remove from the pan, then pour the remaining glaze on top. The cake can be served immediately, but tastes even better the longer it sits.

Reviews
My cake overflowed all over my oven!! I am remaking it without using all the batter.
I made this cake and it was delicious! It was moist, it was the perfect pound cake. We couldn’t stop eating it. Also, I used vanilla extract instead of lemon. My family is waiting for another 1 before Thanksgiving.
I’ve made this several times now and it is outstanding and beautiful. Do exactly as the recipe instructs. Try to plan 1 day ahead. I made one last night as a gift and let the glaze dry overnight. Turned out PERFECT! The glaze keeps the crust from being too hard and keeps the inside moist. My friend will be delighted to get this!
This recipe is going into my favorites. Everyone loved it. I added fresh strawberries.
Should. Air cool in pan before removing?
i notice that when someone has a question about a recipe, it’s rarely addressed. i don’t think anyone from food network monitors the reviews, or for that matter, the person/show host who created the recipe … evenvggdshen there is a discrepancy between the written recipe and how it’s being made on tv. i’ve never seen anyone from food network respond to a juquestion. i was going to end with asking why this is the case but that’s just another question that will probably go unanswered. i have been on some free recipe sites that have answered questions i had but not on this site.
I purchased the cookbook and followed the written instructions. The first day I tried it, it was extremely sweet. On the 2nd day (once the icing settled), it was absolutely delicious! Definitely make this cake ahead of time.
Great cake recipe!! Very moist and sweet. Tip: Follow the written directions.
I took this cake to a memorial family pininic, and I sliced it before I got there,within 15 minutes all of that cske was gone,the next year they were having the pininic again, a message was sent to me that when I come with that cake I better come with more than one cake!, needless to say I came with 3! Within minutes the cake was Gone! They were still talking about last years cake the whole entire time I was there.
I remember my mom making a “7-Up” cake when was young in the 80’s. I saw this on Miss Brown’s show and had all but forgotten about it. I made it immediately and it tasted just like my moms (even better because this had the glaze). We brought some to my mom who was overjoyed to rekindle fond memories of a former favorite cake!
