How To Make aunt helen's 7-up pound cake
-
Step 1Soften butter ( an easy way is by microwaving for 30 secs), and beat with sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
-
Step 2Sift together the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl. Add alternately to creamed mixture with 7-up, ending with dry ingredients.
-
Step 3Add vanilla and lemon juice. Beat well. Bake in greased and floured tube pan (a bundt pan or several bread loaf pans work as well) at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
-
Step 4Make glaze mixture with confectioners sugar and orange juice and spoon over cake while still warm. As a tip when making the glaze, put the 1 cup of confectioner's sugar in a small bowl start to squeeze the orange juice into the bowl and stir. The confectioner's sugar will start to thicken, and just add enough where you can use a spoon and drizzle over the cake..
