Okay, first of all: the intricate surface of this cake is not due to my superior cake sculpting skills.

Its entirely due tothis beautiful, brilliant bundt pan,which I bought last week in a fit of culinary
impulse while at my favorite restaurant supply store in the big city. I had no idea what I was
going to do with it, I just knew I had to make it mine.
Yesterday after we got home from church, I decided to try it out using the classic 7-Up Cake
recipe many of us grew up with, whichI posted on this websiteseveral years ago. Its as moistand delicious as ever, and for this I gave it a little extra citrus twist, and wound up loving the
results.
Cmon! Lets make it!
I mean bake it!
Lets go.

Start with 3 sticks of softened butter. And did you know that if you set cold butter on the
countertop above your dishwasher while it runs through the cycle, it hastens the softening
process?
Its true.

To the 3 sticks of butter, add 3 cups of sugar. (Are we seeing a pattern here?)

It helps to crack the eggs into a bowl or a small pitcher ahead of time. Lessens the likelihood that
youll drop some shell in there while the mixers going, which lessens the likelihood that youll
cuss.
Cussing while baking is banned in seventeen states. So the more you can do to prevent it, the
better off youll be!

In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter and
sugar. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Combine flour and salt, then add it 1
cup at a time, mixing after each addition. With the mixer on low, slowly add the 7-Up untilcombined. Add 1 tablespoon of both lemon and lime zest and mix. Scrape the bowl and mix
again.
Thoroughly spray a bundt pan (I used a Jubilee bundt pan) with nonstick baking spray. Add large
spoonfuls of batter until the pan is filled, then even out the surface. Bake for 1 hour 10 to 1 hour
15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit in the pan for 15 minutes. Carefully turnit out onto a cake plate and let it cool.
Combine all the glaze ingredients in a bowl and gently whisk until thick but pourable. Use alarge spoon to drizzle it all over the cake. Let the glaze set, then slice and serve!
Optional: Sprinkle with a little extra lemon and lime zest.
