Cherry Limeade Pound Cake

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt cake or tube pan.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.  In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and sugar. Add the lime zest. Beat in the eggs one at a time, until each is well incorporated. Mix in 1/3 of the flour mixture at a time, alternating with the 7-Up. Stir in the cherries.

3. Scoop the batter into the prepared pan. Tap the pan on the counter several times to rid the batter of any air bubbles. Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a sharp, thin knife inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Place the pan on a wire rack and let cool for 20 minutes, then place a serving plate over the top and gently flip over. Give the bottom of the pan a few taps if you need to loosen the cake from the pan. Let the cake cool completely on the serving platter before topping with the glaze.

4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
