this delicious New Orleans classic so let's get started okay this is all you'll need to make your 7up cake and we'll start with our ingredients.

You will need some all purpose flour, unsalted butter at room temperature, sugar, 5 large eggs at room temperature and some baking powder, and for flavor you will need some 7up lemon extract and 1 large lemon, and for our cake frosting, you're going to need some whole milk and some icing sugar and to bake our 7up cake, you're going to need some baker's dough, some non-stick baking spray, and along with that, you're going to need a frying pan. from Nordic Ware and this is a 15 cup but pan and it's perfect for large cakes like the one I'm about to make okay so if you don't have this you can use the old standard size but the pan is fine and along with that you go I also need a cake sifter okay there we have it let's get right to it let's add 3 cups of all purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of baking powder and we'll sift it into a large bowl and let's go.

To stir quickly, if you are using a stand mixer use the paddle attachment or you can use a hand mixer in our stand mixer with the paddle attachment add 3 sticks room temperature unsalted butter and 3 cups sugar , mix all the ingredients. I'm going to turn our mixer on to medium speed just to incorporate the butter and sugar, then we're going to increase the speed of our mixer to the highest setting and we're going to mix this on high speed. for about 7 minutes, at some point during those seven minutes you're going to stop your mixer and you're going to scrape the sides of your bowl and you're going to continue mixing that by scraping the sides of your mixing bowl and that's it, now we're going to add five eggs. one at a time, we are going to add the first egg to the mixture until well combined, add the second egg mixture until well combined, add the third egg mixture until well combined add the fourth egg to the mixture until It's well combined and add the fifth egg to the mixture until it's well combined and ready, scrape the sides of your bowl and now we're going to go ahead and add all the flavor so you're going to rinse a large lemon then you're going to evaluate all the lemon and you're going to cut it in half add your lemon zest 2 teaspoons of lemon extract using a small mesh strainer we're going to squeeze 1/2 a lemon into our cake batter and that's about a tablespoon of lemon juice that we're adding in there mix all the ingredients until well combined here I have a cup of 7up and all purpose flour mix and we're going to alternate these two in the dough add a cup of our all purpose flour mix and 1/ 3 cup of 7up mix all ingredients until well combined add one cup of our all purpose flour mix and 1/3 cup of our 7up mix all ingredients until well combined add one cup of our mix of all-purpose flour and 1/4 cup of 7up, mix all the ingredients until well combined and that's it, it looks good, we're going to spray our pan with non-stick baking spray and we're going to set our oven to 325 degrees and let's Add our 7-piece cake batter to our mold.

Spread the 7-piece cake batter around the pan using the back of a spoon to make it even. more so, we're just going to shake up the cake batter, okay, now you're ready to bake it, put it in a preheated 325 degree oven and we'll bake it for an hour and 15 minutes. I'm going to set my timer for 1 hour and once that hour passes, you'll set it again for 15 minutes. Okay, time's up. I'm going to take our 7 slice cake out of the oven after baking at 325 degrees or 1 hour and 15 minutes. we're going to test with a toothpick, insert it and it's clean and test with the other side, insert it and it's clean now we're going to let this cake cool which should take about 3-4 hours to cool completely.

It's okay, it's completely cold. now let's go ahead and flip it over already drum roll 1 2 3 look how beautiful it looks nice beautiful golden brown color to make our cake frosting add 1 1 4 cups confectioners' sugar 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter 3 tablespoons hot milk and 1/4 teaspoon of lemon extract, mix all the ingredients until they are well combined, you know, make sure you mix it very well to remove all the lumps and there you will have a nice creamy consistency and there are no visible lumps. I'm going to pour this on top of our cake, now look how beautiful it looks.

Now I'm going to go ahead and cut a slice off of them and see how it looks nice and moist, it looks beautiful and there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, seven for one.
