Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups Butter, softened
- 3 cups Sugar
- 5 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 teaspoons Almond (or Lemon) Extract
- 3 cups All-purpose Flour
- 1 cup Sprite, 7-UP, or Sierra Mist
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. This ensures your cake cooks evenly from the moment it goes in.
- Cream the butter until it’s light and fluffy, creating a perfect base for your cake. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating for a minute after each addition. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl to incorporate every bit.
- Beat the mixture for an additional 4 minutes after all the sugar is added. This process aerates the batter, giving the cake its signature light texture.
- Incorporate eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. This step is crucial for the structure of the cake.
- Mix in the extracts, which provide the cake with its distinctive flavor profile. Whether you choose almond or lemon, it’ll add a delightful aroma and taste.
- Alternate adding the flour and soda, beginning and ending with flour. This method helps in maintaining the cake’s moisture.
- Pour the batter into a greased Bundt pan. For those using a loaf pan, it’ll fill two pans. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes for Bundt pans, or 50-60 minutes for loaf pans, until the cake is firm to the touch.
