1 c Regular Margarine
1/2 c Shortening
3 c Sugar
5 lg Eggs
3 c Unbleached Flour (Cake
Flour Was Not Specified)
2 tb Lemon Extract
1 c 7-Up (Room Temperature)
This is an old recipe that comes from a request in the local paper for
"Classic Recipes". They called the 7-Up bottling company and they
did not even know about it. Someone developed this on their own and
never let the company know about it. BTW 7-Up comes from the popular
card game in the 1930's.
Cream the margarine, shortening and sugar together beating until
light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, blending well after
each addition. Beat in the flour, then beat in the extract and 7-Up.
Blend well. Pour the batter into a well-greased and floured tube pan
and bake at 325 degrees F for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
