  Categories: Cakes
       Yield: 6 servings
  
       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.
