Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

• 1/2 cup butter, softened

• 1 cup 7Up

• 3 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/4 cup lemon juice

• 1 tablespoon lemon zest

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• Optional: powdered sugar or glaze for topping

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven: Set to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.

2. Mix the batter: In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla, lemon juice, and lemon zest.

3. Add dry ingredients and 7Up: In a separate bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with 7Up, beginning and ending with flour. Mix until smooth.

4. Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5. Cool and serve: Let the cake cool completely before topping with powdered sugar or a simple lemon glaze. Slice, serve, and enjoy the light, zesty flavor!

Tips for the Perfect 7Up Lemon Cake:

• Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the brightest citrus flavor.

• For extra moisture, brush the cake with a thin layer of lemon syrup after baking.

• This cake pairs beautifully with whipped cream or fresh berries.

The 7Up Lemon Cake is a testament to the magic of simple ingredients coming together to create something extraordinary. Its light, airy texture and vibrant lemon flavor make it a dessert that’s perfect for any occasion, from casual family dinners to festive celebrations.
