Categories     dessert

Time 3h45m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups granulated sugar
3 sticks (12 ounces) unsalted butter
5 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup lemon-lime soda, such as 7-Up
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lime zest
Nonstick baking spray, for spraying pan
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon lemon zest, dried for at least 30 minutes, plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon lime zest, dried for at least 30 minutes, plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Blackberries, for serving

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the granulated sugar and butter. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Combine the flour and salt in a small bowl, then add it to the butter-sugar mixture 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition. With the mixer on low, slowly add the lemon-lime soda and mix until combined. Add the lemon and lime zests and mix. Scrape the bowl and mix again.
  • Thoroughly spray a Bundt pan with nonstick baking spray. Add large spoonfuls of batter to the pan until filled, then even out the surface. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes (a toothpick inserted in the center should not come out totally clean, but it shouldn't be wet with batter either). Let the cake sit in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a cake plate and let it cool.
  • For the glaze: Combine the powdered sugar, lemon zest and juice, lime zest and juice, salt and about 1 tablespoon water in a bowl and gently whisk until thick but pourable; add a little extra water if needed. Use a large spoon to drizzle the glaze all over the cake. Sprinkle over more zest to decorate. Let the glaze set before serving.
  • Whip the heavy cream and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until it forms soft peaks. Slice the cake and serve with the whipped cream and berries!

  • 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.

Time 1h35m

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups butter, softened

  • Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 5 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes or until a long wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, shielding with aluminum foil after 45 to 50 minutes to prevent excessive browning. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes; remove cake from pan to wire rack.

LEMON LIME ICED POUND CAKE



Lemon Lime Iced Pound Cake image

This was seriously one of the best pound cakes we have ever had! We loved the addition of the lime zest to the icing. It really brought this cake over the top. In fact, we liked it so much, one person in the kitchen brought the cake to a social event. While there she heard one of the ladies say, "I don't know who made this cake...

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 stick butter
2 c sugar
5 large eggs
3 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 medium limes
3/4 c buttermilk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 Tbsp lemon extract
2 c powdered sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 and either spray Baker's Joy in two loaf pans or butter and flour two loaf pans. Cream together room temperature butter and sugar until fluffy.
  • 2. Add one egg at a time scraping down the sides of the bowl in between each egg and beat at medium speed until combined and fluffy.
  • 3. Mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in one bowl. In another bowl mix the buttermilk, juice of one lime, finely grated zest of one whole lime, vanilla extract and 2 of the tablespoons of lemon extract.
  • 4. Alternate the dry mixture and the liquid mixture into your butter, eggs, and sugar and mix thoroughly in between adding each one, scraping down the sides of the bowl after adding each time.
  • 5. Divide batter into the two loaf pans and spread evenly in pans. Bake for 45 minutes to an hour. Check with a toothpick or butter knife... crumbs are ok but you do not want any raw batter to stick. Also, if the top seems to be getting too brown, you can cover with foil. I think using the low rack is best for my oven. Let sit in the pans for at least 10-15 minutes then remove to finish cooling.
  • 6. When the loaves are completely cooled, mix the powdered sugar with the zest and juice of the second lime and add the last tablespoon of lemon extract to it. whisk until pourable but not runny... you can add a few drops of milk if you need to. Pour over the top of your loaves and let sit until the glaze firms. Slice up and serve!!!

Provided by Tasty

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!

Tips:

  • To make the cake extra moist, use fresh lemon and lime juice instead of the zest only.
  • For a more intense citrus flavor, add a tablespoon of lemon extract and lime extract to the batter.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the bundt pan thoroughly before pouring in the batter.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • For a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar or cornstarch to the mixture.
  • For a zesty glaze, add a tablespoon of lemon or lime zest to the glaze mixture.
  • Store the glazed cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Lemon-lime soda pound cake is a moist, flavorful, and refreshing cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its bright citrus flavor and tangy glaze, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you're serving it for dessert, a snack, or a special event, this cake is sure to please.
