Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

- In a medium bowl sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat butter until pale, about one minute.
- Add sugar and beat again on medium for two minutes.
- With mixer running, add each egg one at a time, scrape bowl and mix again.
- Add zest and extract and mix again.
- With mixer running on low, alternate adding flour mixture, buttermilk and Sprite. Mix to combine, scrape bowl and mix again.
- Pour into prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted into center comes out clean. (You will see the liquid batter firm up as it bakes. If any liquid spots are left, bake for an additional minute or two.)
