Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups all purpose flour (sifted)
  • ¾ cup 7 Up

Glaze

  • 1 cup confectioners sugar (sifted)
  • 2–3 tablespoons 7 Up

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325℉ to ensure it reaches the perfect baking temperature.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on high speed for 10 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl for even mixing.
  3. Add Eggs and Flavorings: Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next, followed by the vanilla extract and salt to enhance flavor.
  4. Add Flour: With the mixer on low, gradually add the sifted all-purpose flour, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the batter.
  5. Add 7 Up: Pour in ¾ cup of 7 Up and mix on low speed just until combined; this soda adds moisture and a subtle citrus note without overmixing.
  6. Prepare Pan: Generously grease a 10-inch bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 70-80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs remaining.
  8. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving plate.
  9. Make Glaze: Whisk together the sifted confectioners sugar with 2 tablespoons of 7 Up, adding up to 3 tablespoons total as needed until the glaze reaches a spoonable consistency.
  10. Glaze Cake: Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cake and allow it to set before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is at room temperature for smooth creaming and better texture.
  • Do not overmix after adding flour and 7 Up to keep the cake tender.
  • Check for doneness starting at 70 minutes to avoid overbaking.
  • Use a nonstick spray or grease thoroughly to prevent the pound cake from sticking to the bundt pan.
  • The 7 Up soda is key for moisture and lightness, do not substitute with other liquids.
