  • 5 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon extract
  • zest of one whole lime
  • zest of one whole lemon
  • 3 cups cake flour
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup lemon-lime soda pop

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325F.
  • Using a standing mixer or a hand mixer, cream butter & sugar together. Add 5 large eggs, add & mix one egg at a time in order to create an emulsion. Add the zest of a lemon & a lime, vanilla extract & lemon extract & mix.
  • Add cake flour in increments of ⅓, mixing the flour into the batter in-between each increment. Once the cake flour is incorporated into the batter, add salt & sour cream and mix. While mixing the batter, slowly pour in the lemon-lime pop.
  • Line a Bundt cake pan with shortening & all-purpose unbleached flour. Pour the cake batter into the cake pan & bake for one hour in the center rack of the oven.
  • Test the center of the cake with a knife; if it comes out clean & dry then the cake is ready.
  • Remove the cake pan from the oven & allow it to cool for 10 minutes before removing the cake from the pan.
