If you enjoy citrus, you will enjoy this 7-Up Bundt cake. Lemon is without a doubt my favorite citrus flavor when it comes to desserts. This Bundt cake gets most of its flavor from a whopping 2 tablespoons of lemon extract and 7-Up. If you don’t want to use 7-Up any carbonated lemon-lime beverage will work as well. I knew before I had even begun making it that I would love this cake, and I was right, it was delicious. The cake turned out to be extremely moist with excellent citrus flavor. You will definitely want to take small pieces because this cake is not a light dessert by any means. This cake also had a fantastic lemon glaze that goes over it. This does not take very long to make, you can have it in the oven within 10 minutes. Enjoy.
