Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 stick butter
2 c sugar
5 eggs
2 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 c 7-up
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 tsp vanilla
1 c confectioners' sugar
0 juice of one fresh orange, remove seeds

Steps:

  • 1. Soften butter ( an easy way is by microwaving for 30 secs), and beat with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
  • 2. Sift together the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add alternately to creamed mixture with 7-up, ending with dry ingredients.
  • 3. Add vanilla and lemon juice. Beat well. Bake in greased and floured tube pan (a bundt pan or several bread loaf pans work as well) at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
  • 4. Make glaze mixture with confectioners sugar and orange juice and spoon over cake while still warm. As a tip when making the glaze, put the 1 cup of confectioner's sugar in a small bowl start to squeeze the orange juice into the bowl and stir. The confectioner's sugar will start to thicken, and just add enough where you can use a spoon and drizzle over the cake..

Time 1h55m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 ¼ cups white sugar
¾ pound unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 extra large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup 1% milk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 12-cup fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Place sugar and butter in a large mixing bowl. Cream together using an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or a hand mixer, on medium speed, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating for 45 seconds after each addition. Add vanilla extract and beat for 30 seconds.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add 1/2 of the dry ingredients to the butter and egg mixture, mixing on low speed, until just blended. Add 1/2 cup milk and beat on low speed until just blended. Scrape the sides of the bowl with a spatula between each addition. Repeat with remaining dry ingredients and milk.
  • Pour batter into the prepared baking pan, filling no more than 2/3 full. Smooth the top with a spoon or a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is just starting to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 1 hour and 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 15 minutes before inverting onto a plate. Allow to cool completely before serving.
