My daughter Hailey came to me and asked "What is Pound Cake?"  I had to remedy this as it's one of my most favorite cakes ever.  Plain simple, moist, dense, and cake at it's finest if you ask me.  It pairs well with anything, and I love for breakfast the next morning.  I went to my recipe binder and pulled out this gem from Taste of Home magazine Feb/March 2015 issue and loved the past 8 years. . .

My grandmother gave me this 7UP pound cake recipe. On top of being delicious, this 7UP cake represents family tradition, connection and love. —Marsha Davis, Desert Hot Springs, California

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 cups butter, softened
• 3 cups sugar
• 5 large eggs, room temperature
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup 7UP soda
• GLAZE:
• 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
• 1 to 2 tablespoons 7UP soda
• 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon or lime zest, optional

Directions

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 10-in. fluted or plain tube pan.
• 2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon juice and vanilla. Add flour alternately with 7UP, beating well after each addition.
• 3. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 65-75 minutes. Cool in pan 20 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. (If you put the glaze on faster it's looks more donut glazey so your choice on glaze preferences.... If you let the cake cool it looks more white and noticeable)
• 4. For glaze, in a small bowl, mix confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and enough 7UP to reach desired consistency. If desired, stir in zest. Drizzle over cake.
