7-Up Pound Cake

 This recipe came from Julie Fulks, who was my administrative assistant at Howey in the Hills Community Church.  Ginny found it a tasty addition to breakfast by adding a fruit topping.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup of butter

3 cups sugar

3 cups all purpose flour

5 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

3/4 cups 7 Up soft drink

Directions

1. Cream the 1 1/2 cup of butter with the 3 cups sugar.

2. Add 5 eggs one at a time, alternating with adding the 3 cups all purpose flour. Mix well.

3. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla, then 3/4 cups of  7 Up.

4. Bake at 325 F for 1 hour and 25 minutes.  I use a bunt cake pan.
