- 3 cups (360 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest (from about 2 lemons)
- ¾ cup 7UP soda (not diet)
Instructions

- In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until very light and fluffy, about 12–13 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually add the flour and lemon zest, mixing on low speed just until combined.
- Gently fold in the 7UP soda using a rubber spatula.
- Grease a Bundt pan thoroughly and pour in the batter, smoothing the top.
- Bake for 70–80 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack and let it cool completely.
