Citrus Soda Pound Cake

This is a take on my Taste of Summertime Pound Cake.



Citrus Soda Pound Cake

Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cup butter, softened
3 cups granulated sugar
5 large eggs
1 cup Mountain Dew, Mello Yello or Sun Drop (I used Diet Sun Drop for my cake)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract

Instructions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup tube pan. Combine flour and salt in a bowl. With a mixer, cream butter and sugar at high speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Reduce speed to low; add dry ingredients and soda, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Add the vanilla and lemon extracts and mix until just combined. Spoon evenly into prepared pan and bake 1 1/2 hours or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Invert onto wire rack, remove pan and cool completely.

I glazed my cake with a lemon glaze but you can leave it plain.
