3 c. sugar
3 sticks (1 1/2 c.) butter-cream
5 eggs
2 tbsp. lemon extract
3 c. flour
3/4 c. 7-Up, ginger ale or Sprite

You will need a tubular baking pan.

Turn oven to 325°F. Prepare pan (use vegetable oil or spray). No longer use butter because it burns or makes a darker crust. Mix alternately.

Bake 90 minutes.
