Description

This delightful dessert strikes the right balance between tartness and sweetness, infused with both lemon and lime.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup lemon-lime soda, like 7UP
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 10-inch bundt pan with butter, dusting it with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl, then gradually add to the wet ingredients alternately with the lemon-lime soda.
  5. Fold in the lemon and lime zest.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 70-75 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
  8. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with lemon and lime juice and drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature, sift flour for a lighter texture, and store leftovers properly.
