Ingredients

• 1.5 cups butter
• 3 cups white sugar
• 5 eggs
• 2 tablespoons lemon extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups lemon-lime soda , e.g. 7-Up™

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12 cup muffin pans and line with paper baking cups.
2. 2 Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 15 minutes. Mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing each until well blended. Stir in the lemon extract. Stir in the flour, alternating with the lemon-lime soda, just until the batter is smooth. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups, dividing evenly.
3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan set over a wire rack. When cool, arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter.
