Tips and Notes:
- For best results, use a light colored pan to bake the cake. Dark pans can cause the cake to over bake and be dry.

- For an extra burst of lemon flavor, add a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the batter.
- You can also top the cake with a 7-Up glaze by combining 1/2 cup of 7-Up with 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar and stirring until smooth.
Serving Suggestions:
This cake is delicious served with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I use another type of soda instead of 7-Up?
A: Yes, you can use any type of lemon-lime soda. Sprite, Sierra Mist and Mountain Dew Code Red all work well.
