Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
2 1/2 cups sugar
5 eggs
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup lemon-lime soda
confectioners’ sugar
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in extracts. Add flour alternately with soda, beating just until combined.
Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. fluted tube pan (pan will be full). Bake at 325 degrees F for 1-1/4 hours or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10-20 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners’ sugar.
