Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus additional for greasing
3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted, plus additional for the pan
3 cups granulated sugar
5 large eggs
2 tablespoons lemon extract
1 cup lemon-lime soda, such as 7Up
3 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup milk
3 tablespoons lemon-lime soda, such as 7Up
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Generously grease and flour a fluted 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan.
  • Beat the granulated sugar and butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the flour 1 cup at a time, blending well after each addition, until the batter is smooth; stir in the lemon extract. Mix the lemon-lime soda into the batter and pour into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
  • For the glaze: Beat the confectioners' sugar, milk, lemon-lime soda and extracts together in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until the glaze is smooth.
  • Pierce holes in the cake with a skewer. Pour 1/4 cup glaze over the cake. Flip the cake onto a serving plate to remove from the pan, then pour the remaining glaze on top. The cake can be served immediately, but tastes even better the longer it sits.

LEMON-LIME POUND CAKE RECIPE



Lemon-Lime Pound Cake Recipe image

This recipe is based on a classic Southern favorite called 7UP Pound Cake, which was created in the 1950s when the soda company suggested using its soft drink instead of other liquid in pound cake recipes. The result: one of the best, and simplest, cakes you'll ever make.

Categories     Bakery Goods

Time 2h

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
3 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
2 ½ cups granulated sugar
5 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon
3 cups all purpose flour, spooned and leveled
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup lemon lime soda, room temperature
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lime juice
1 tablespoon lemon lime soda
¼ teaspoon lime zest
¼ teaspoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 10-12 cup Bundt pan or tube pan (without a removable bottom).
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer), beat the butter on low speed for 2 minutes. Add the sugar and cream on high speed for about 5 minutes, until pale yellow, light, and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and beat on low speed between each addition until just incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Do not overmix. Add the vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice and mix for about 30 seconds, until combined. The mixture will look a little curdled, but will smooth out once the flour is added.
  • Gradually add the flour and salt and mix until just combined. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the lemon-lime soda.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 60-75 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs attached. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
  • Make the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lime juice, and lemon-lime soda until completely smooth. Whisk in the lime and lemon zests.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cake and let set for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Lemon-Lime Ricotta Pound Cake image

A rich, dense, buttery pound cake, with hints of citrus, gets a flavor and texture boost from the addition of ricotta cheese. Pairing the cake with a bright, fresh, lemon-lime icing makes for a wonderful, and beautiful, dessert.

Provided by Kim

Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 ⅛ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cardamom
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
2 cups whole-milk ricotta cheese, at room temperature
2 cups white sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
6 large eggs, at room temperature
2 tablespoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons grated lime zest
1 ½ tablespoons lime juice
1 cup powdered sugar
4 tablespoons heavy cream
1 pinch salt
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons lime juice
1 teaspoon grated lime zest

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Sift flour, baking soda, salt, cardamom, and ginger together in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Beat ricotta, sugar, and butter together in a separate large bowl on medium-high speed until mixture is very light, 7 to 9 minutes. Mixture will look almost grainy and curdled--that is normal. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat mixture on high speed for another 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in lemon zest and juice and lime zest and juice, until thoroughly incorporated. Add dry ingredients in three separate additions, mixing until only just combined after each addition.
  • Pour batter evenly into prepared pan and smooth the top. Tap pan on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a bamboo skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool cake in the pan for 15 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges and center of the pan to loosen. Invert cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make the icing: whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and salt until completely smooth. Add in lemon and lime zests and juices and mix until thoroughly combined. Pour icing over the cooled cake.
