Instructions
Pound Cake
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 10-in. fluted or plain tube pan. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon juice and vanilla. Add flour alternately with 7 Up, beating well after each addition.
- Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in centre comes out clean, 65-75 minutes. Cool in pan 20 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Glaze
- In a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and enough 7 Up to reach desired consistency. If desired, stir in zest. Drizzle over cake.
Recipe Notes
Test Kitchen Tips
- To remove cakes easily, use solid shortening to grease plain and fluted tube pans.
- For a three-ingredient dessert, grill sliced pound cake and serve with whipped cream and your favorite fruit curd or berry sauce. Or sandwich mini marshmallows and chocolate chips between frozen waffles; wrap in foil and grill.
