Ingredient Quantity
Butter, softened 1 1/2 cups
Sugar 3 cups
Eggs 5
Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon
Almond Extract 2 teaspoons
All-purpose Flour 3 cups
7-Up (or Sprite, Sierra Mist) 1 cup
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan or coat it with baking spray for easy release.
Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add Eggs and Extracts:
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and almond or lemon extract for added flavor.
Incorporate Flour and Soda:
Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the creamed mixture, alternating with the 7 Up soda.
Begin and end with the flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour into Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake:
Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve:
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the 7 Up Pound Cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
