- 1 cup oil
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 eggs
- 3 cups all purpose flour

Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the oil, butter, and sugar.
- Add the eggs, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the flour and mix well.
- Add 7 UP, lemon and lime juices, and zest. Mix until well combined.
- Pour into 2 greased 9" cake pans.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until tester inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pans 20 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the pans, and turn upside down onto a cooling rack.

- If desired, top with thin slices of lemons and limes. Enjoy!
