Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven @ 325 degrees. Flour a bunt pan..( i use the Bakers Joy spray..its like Pam but it has a flour base so it makes everyones life just a lil bit easier, and it works the best).
1. Start by mixing the sugar and butter/mar. Mix with the mixer until mixture is fluffy..this is the most important step. Once you think you have finished mixing them do it a min more just to be sure.
2. Add eggs two at a time to assure that they are completely blended in with the mixture..then add the last one.
3. Now you are ready to add the rest of the ingredients. Dump the flour, lemon flavoring, and the 7 up. Mix well and depending on the consistancy..u might need to add a little more 7 up. I sometimes add about a 1/2 cup more.
4. Pour batter into the floured pan and place in the oven.
5. Check on the cake in 1 hour.
6. Now you can start the glaze for the outer coat. Take 2 lemons and squeeze as much juice out of them and place the juice in a med bowl. Take the time to remove all the seeds before continuing. Slowly wisk in the powdered sugar until it is nice and thick. You dont want it to be too thin. Once it is nice and thick set it to the side until the cake is finished.
7. It normally takes about 1hour and no more than 30 more min after the initial check. I check it with a metal butter knife because it is too deep for just a toothpick..once it comes out clean the cake is ready.
8. Leave the cake in the pan for 5 min to cool. Then prep the serving dish or whatever you are going to store the cake in/on. I use foil. Once you turn the pan over the cake should pop out easily.
9. Spoon the glaze over the warm cake.
ALL DONE!! ENJOY!!
