      Yield: 6 servings 
  
      1 c  Regular Margarine                   3 c  Unbleached Flour (Cake 
    1/2 c  Shortening                               Flour Was Not Specified) 
      3 c  Sugar                               2 tb Lemon Extract 
      5 lg Eggs                                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.
