Ingredients

For the cake

1 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
½ cup shortening
3 cups granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
5 large eggs at room temperature
1 cup 7-Up soda

For the glaze

½ cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons 7-Up soda

Instructions

For the cake

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees and grease and flour a bundt pan. Set aside.
In the bowl of your stand mixer (or a regular large bowl), add the butter, shortening, sugar, vanilla, and almond extract. Beat for approximately 5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
In a medium bowl, add the flour and salt and whisk together.
With your mixer running on low, add in 1 egg, then a bit of the 7-Up, then a bit of the flour mixture. Then another egg, bit of 7-Up, bit of flour mixture. Repeat in that order until you're out of ingredients and the batter is fully combined.
Scoop the mixture into the prepared bundt pan.
Bake for 1.5 hours or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes then flip and remove.

For the glaze

In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 2 Tablespoons 7-Up.
Pour over the cooled cake.

Notes

Start with room temperature butter and eggs for the best results.

Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to a week.
