7 Up Cake p. 103 in the VV5 ward cookbook from 2008

 1 1/2 c. butter
3 c. sugar
6 eggs
3 c. flour
2 Tbsp. lemon extract
3/4 cup 7 Up  (or other lemon flavored soda beverage)

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.  Add eggs one at a time and beat well. Add flour. Beat in lemon extract and 7 Up.   Pour batter into well greased and floured jumbo fluted pan.  Bake at 325 degrees F for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until done.  Cool about 15 minutes and then remove from pan.


(Baker's note:  We cut the butter down to 1 cup and baked it in a regular large bundt pan.  We also added about 10-15 minutes to the bake time until a toothpick came out clean.)
