How to cook deliciously - 7UP Pound Cake

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted or plain tube pan. Editor's Tip: The best way to grease a fluted tube pan is with solid shortening in every nook and cranny, followed by a dusting of flour. Then, tap out the excess.

2. Stage

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, five to seven minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the lemon juice and vanilla. Add the flour alternately with the 7UP, two additions of each. Beat well after each addition. Editor's Tip: Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated.

3. Stage

Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 65 to 75 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely. Editor’s Tip: Turning the cake out can be tricky, which is why we put together a guide on how to get a cake out of a fluted tube pan successfully.

4. Stage

In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and enough 7UP to reach your preferred glaze consistency. If desired, stir in zest. Drizzle the glaze over the cake. Editor's Tip: Pour the glaze over the cake using a liquid measuring cup; the spout comes in handy.
