Preparation steps

1.
Preheat oven to 325º F. Coat a tube pan with nonstick vegetable spray and dust lightly with flour.
2.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
3.
Gradually add cake flour, mixing well until smooth. Stir in lemon and vanilla extracts. Fold in lemon-lime soda.
4.
Pour batter into the prepared tube pan. Bake for about 60 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the middle of the cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
5.
Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 10 minutes. Turn out cake and allow to cool completely before adding glaze.
