- 1½ cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter softened
- 3 cups white sugar
- 5 eggs
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp lime juice
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup 7-Up Soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- Zest of one lime
- Zest of one lemon
- GLAZE:
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
- 2 Tbsp 7-Up Soda
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Liberally (and I mean it!) grease and flour a bundt pan. If you think you've greased it well, grease it again. Seriously. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs in, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the lemon and lime juice, lemon and lime zests, and vanilla extract to combine. Then, alternating with 7-Up and flour, add each gradually until a thick and smooth batter comes together.
Pour the batter into the prepared (and very well greased and floured!) bundt pan and bake for approx. 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean. Leave in pan for about 20 minutes before carefully inverting to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make glaze, in a medium bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients. Drizzle on top of the cake and allow glaze to set before cutting into slices.
