Ingredients

  • 3 sticks 1 ½ cups unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 3 cups Sugar In The Raw Organic White Sugar
  • 6 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1 ½ cups cake flour sifted
  • ¾ cup 7 Up soda room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
  • ½ teaspoon lemon extract
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • Pam Perfect Release for Nordic Ware 12-cup bundt pan

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F. Generously spray your Nordic Ware 12-cup bundt pan with Pam Perfect Release to ensure the cake comes out perfectly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar: In a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer), beat the butter and Sugar In The Raw on medium speed until light and fluffy. Don’t rush this step—let it mix for at least 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs: One at a time, mix in the eggs, ensuring each one is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  • Alternate flour and 7 Up: Gradually add the sifted all-purpose flour, cake flour, and 7 Up to the batter in batches. Start and end with the flour, mixing gently to keep the batter light and airy.
  • Add the extracts: Mix in the vanilla bean paste, lemon extract, and almond extract until just combined.
  • Pour and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 75-85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool and release: Let the cake rest in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully flipping it onto a cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

Optional glaze: use
  • 3-1/4 cups powdered sugar or sugar in the raw for a more textured glaze
