Servings 12

Ingredients:

For the cake:

• 2 cups sugar
• 3 sticks (1 ½ cups) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 5 eggs
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup 7-Up Soda
• Zest of 1 lemon
• Zest of 1 lime

For the glaze:

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons 7-Up Soda
• 1 tablespoon lime juice

Instructions:

To make the cake:

• Preheat oven to 325°F/160°C/Gas Mark 3. Generously grease and flour a Bundt pan; set aside.
• Using an electric mixer, whisk together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy, around 2 minutes. Apply the eggs in, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Add the lime and lemon juice, lime and lemon zests, and vanilla to incorporate.
• Next, alternating with flour and 7-Up, add each slowly until a thick and smooth mixture comes together.
• Spread the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Put in the oven and bake for about 60 to 70 minutes or just until a tester inserted near the middle comes out clean. Let it in the pan for around 20 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.

To make the glaze:

• In a bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients; next, drizzle on top of the dessert and let glaze to set before slicing. Serve.

Enjoy!
