My best friend shared the recipe for this delightful dessert. It goes great with a cup of tea, too. Notice that there is no leavening in the recipe—the carbonated soda does the job! —Kelly Ward Hartman, Cape Coral, Florida

12 Servings
Prep: 15 min. Bake: 1-1/4 hours + cooling

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
2-1/2 cups sugar
5 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup lemon-lime soda
Confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a large bowl, cream the butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in extracts. Add flour alternately with soda, beating just until combined.
Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan (pan will be full). Bake at 325° for 1-1/4 hours or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10-20 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 12 servings.
