Try making the best ever Sun Drop Pound Cake Recipe from scratch! It’s a southern classic, decadent, moist cake that’s made with sun drop soda for a subtle lemon, lime and orange flavor.

Ingredients

Cake: – 1 cup butter, softened – ½ cup shortening – 3 cups granulated sugar – 5 large eggs – 1 teaspoon vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon lemon extract – 3 cups all-purpose flour – ¾ cup SunDrop soda

Ingredients

Glaze: – 2 tablespoons melted butter – 2 cups powdered sugar – ¼ cup SunDrop soda

Begin the recipe by preheating the oven to 325 degrees F. Prepare a bundt or tube pan using shortening to lightly grease the entire pan in a thin layer. Lightly dust the whole pan with a small amount of all-purpose flour.

Step #1

Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a large bowl with a (hand) electric mixer, add the 1 cup butter and ½ cup shortening and mix on medium speed until smooth.

Step #2

Add the 3 cups granulated sugar and continue mixing until light and fluffy.

Step #3

Adjust the mixer to medium-low speed and add in the 5 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon lemon extract. Mix until combined.

Step #4

Adjust the mixer to low speed and add the 3 cups all-purpose flour a little at a time before adding in the ¾ cup soda. Mix until combined, but do not overmix.

Step #5

Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it around and tap the bottom of the cake pan to make sure it’s spread evenly in the pan.

Step #6

Place into the oven and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, until a cake tester comes out with little crumbs and no wet cake mixture.
