This Seven-Up pound cake is an easy, from-scratch dessert that's livened up with the addition of soda pop.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
2

In a large bowl, cream together butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla and lemon extract. Beat in flour alternately with lemon-lime soda, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
3

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