Ingredients:
- 3 sticks - Unsalted Butter room temp
- 3 cups - Granulated Sugar
- 5 - Large Eggs
- 3 cups - All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoons - Baking Soda
- 1/4 teaspoons - Salt
- - Zest from 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoons - Lemon Juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons - Vanilla Extract
- 7 ounces - 7-Up
- - Confectioners' Sugar for dusting cake
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter two 8-by-4-inch loaf pans. Cut two pieces of parchment into 13-by-9-inch rectangles. Cut 2½-inch squares from each corner. Parchment should cover bottoms of pans with four flaps that come up sides.
2. In a large bowl, cream butter with an electric mixer or a stand mixer with paddle attachment. Mix in sugar and beat until combined.
3. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition until fully incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt.
5. Add 1 cup flour mixture, lemon zest and juice, vanilla and 3 tablespoons 7-Up to butter mixture and beat until just combined. Continue alternating additions of flour mixture and 7-Up until batter is combined, taking care not to overbeat.
6. Divide batter between loaf pans and bake until golden or a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Remove from oven and let cool completely in pans.
7. Serve at room temperature, dusted with confectioners' sugar.
