Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Before you start baking, make sure you have the following ingredients ready:

• 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 3 cups granulated sugar
• 5 large eggs
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup 7up soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon lemon extract
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Optional: Ruby red fruit (like cherries or strawberries) for garnish

Step 2: Prepare Your Baking Pan

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Grease and flour a bundt pan or a loaf pan to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Mix the Butter and Sugar

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
2. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer.

Step 4: Add the Eggs

1. Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.
2. Ensure that each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 5: Combine Dry Ingredients

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
2. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the 7up soda. Start and end with the flour mixture.

Step 6: Add Flavoring

1. Stir in the vanilla and lemon extracts until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 7: Pour the Batter into the Pan

1. Carefully pour the batter into the prepared bundt or loaf pan.
2. Smooth the top with a spatula to ensure even baking.

Step 8: Bake the Cake

1. Place the pan in the preheated oven.
2. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9: Cool and Serve

1. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes.
2. Turn the cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Optionally, garnish with ruby red fruit for a decorative finish before serving.
