Preheat oven to 375°F

using a mixer, combine butter and sugar until creamy

add eggs one at a time

I always allow the eggs a second to be blended before adding the next

add flavor alternating with 7 Up

Meaning add 1tsp of flavor then soda then the other tsp of flavor

it will look a little loose don't worry flour has to be added still

add flour one cup at a time being sure to turn down mixer to avoid creating flour cloud

pour into greased cake pan and bake on center rack for about 1 hr. check with toothpick for doneness

allow to cool a few minutes before turning over

add lemon frosting or enjoy without
