    Yield: 12–16 slices
    Prep: 20 min   Bake: 60–70 min   Total: ~1 h 30 min
    Pan: 10″ Bundt/tube (12-cup)

Ingredients

    1½ cups (340 g) unsalted butter, softened
    3 cups (600 g) granulated sugar
    5 large eggs, room temperature
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    2 tsp almond or lemon extract
    3 cups (360 g) all-purpose flour
    1 cup (240 ml) lemon-lime soda (not diet)

Instructions


    Heat oven to 325°F / 160°C. Grease and flour a 10″ Bundt/tube pan thoroughly.
    Cream butter and sugar until very pale and fluffy, 3–4 minutes.
    Beat in eggs one at a time. Mix in vanilla and almond (or lemon) extract.
    On low, add flour in 3 additions alternating with soda in 2 additions, beginning and ending with flour. Mix just to combine.
    Scrape into pan; smooth top. Bake 60–70 minutes (skewer should come out clean; internal temp ~205°F/96°C).
    Cool 10 minutes; invert to a rack and cool completely before slicing.

Optional Lemon Glaze

Whisk 1½ cups (180 g) powdered sugar with 2–3 tbsp fresh lemon juice and 1–2 tbsp 7UP to pourable consistency. Drizzle over cooled cake.
Pro Tips

    Use room-temperature butter and eggs for the silkiest batter.
    Do not use **diet** soda—the sweeteners won’t bake the same.
    If the top browns early, tent loosely with foil for the last 15 minutes.
    For a super-fine crumb, sift flour before measuring and avoid over-mixing after flour is added.

Storage

Wrap tightly and keep at room temperature up to 4 days, or freeze slices up to 2 months. Thaw wrapped at room temp.
