7Up Pound Cake

I'm usually the girl that chooses chocolate. But every once in a while I need a little lemon. This 7Up pound cake hits that spot. Its soft and sweet, light and moist. It pairs so well with fruit and cream. Make this amazing dessert to share with people that aren't as obsessed with chocolate as you are:) It's almost better than chocolate cake.
