Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan.
-
In a large bowl, cream together butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla and lemon extract. Beat in flour alternately with lemon-lime soda, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 70 minutes. Allow to cool on a cake rack for 30 minutes before removing from the pan.
