Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture is pale, smooth, and fluffy.

Step 3: Add Eggs and Flavorings
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla and either almond or lemon extract.

Step 4: Mix in Dry Ingredients and Soda
Add the flour in portions, alternating with the lemon-lime soda. Begin and end with the flour. Mix gently—just until the batter comes together.
