2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup butter, softened

2 cups granulated sugar

2 large eggs

Zest from half a lime

Zest from half a lemon

1 tablespoon Grand Marnier

1 teaspoon lemon extract

1 12-ounce bottle or can of Sprite

Glaze

3 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup orange juice

1/2 teaspoon lemon extract

Zest from half a lemon

Zest from half a lime

1 tablespoon Grand Marnier


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

  3. In a medium bowl sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  4. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat butter until pale, about one minute.
  5. Add sugar and beat again on medium for two minutes.
  6. With mixer running, add each egg one at a time, scrape bowl and mix again.
