Ingredients

3 cups white sugar
1.5 cups butter, softened
5 eggs eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
2 tablespoons lemon extract
1 cup lemon-lime carbonated beverage (such as 7Up®)
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
0.25 cup milk
0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Prepare a 10-inch fluted tube pan (like a Bundt pan) with generous greasing.
Cream together the white sugar and butter in a large bowl using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Incorporate the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well-mixed. Gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the batter achieves a smooth consistency. Stir in the lemon extract. Gently mix the lemon-lime beverage into the batter, then pour into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, immediately remove the cake from the pan by inverting it onto a wire cooling rack.
Prepare the glaze by beating confectioners' sugar, milk, and vanilla together in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until the glaze is smooth. Pour the glaze evenly over the warm cake and allow it to cool completely.
