Lemon Bundt Cake

This is a favorite - I'm giving it (along with a Bundt pan) to a new bride-to-be:

LEMON BUNDT CAKE

Ingredients:

• 3/4 lb butter, softened
• 3 cups sugar
• 5 eggs
• 3 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons lemon extract
• 3/4 cup carbonated lemon-lime beverage

Directions:

• Cream butter and sugar together for 2 minutes.
• Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating after each addition.
• Add flour and lemon extract.
• Fold in 7-Up.
• Pour into well-greased 12-cup Bundt pan or tube pan.
• Bake at 325 degrees for 1 to 1 1/4 hours.
• Make Lemon Glaze- mix powdered sugar and lemon juice together.
• When cake is cooled, drizzle with Lemon Glaze or Pistachio Frosting.

LEMON GLAZE

• 2/3 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

PISTACHIO FROSTING

Fold the two together. Slice cake in half through the middle. Spread 1/3 of frosting mix on cake. Put together and frost rest of cake, including middle. Keep refrigerated.
