Ingredients
FOR THE CAKE
- ¾ lb. (3 sticks) salted butter, at room temperature
- 3 cups white sugar
- 5 large eggs, at room temperature
- 3 cups (360 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
- ¾ cup 7up soda
FOR THE GLAZE
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice, or more, as necessary
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 12-13 minutes). Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each one. Gradually add flour and lemon zest, mixing just until everything is combined. Fold in 7-Up.
- Pour batter into a well-greased Bundt cake pan.
- Bake for 70-80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for about 15-20 minutes, and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Add extra lemon juice (1 teaspoon at a time), just until the glaze is thin enough to drizzle over the cake. If the glaze is too thin, add a little bit of powdered sugar until it reaches the desired consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the cake.

Notes
- The 7UP cake will stay fresh when covered at room temperature for 4-5 days -- it does not need to be refrigerated. To extend the life of your cake, wrap it tightly and store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
