Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 c Sugar
1/2 lb Butter
1/2 c Vegetable Shortening
6 Eggs -- Large
3 c Cake Flour -- Sifted
7 oz Fresca -- Soda Pop
1 t Baking Powder
1 t Vanilla Extract
1 T Lemon Rind -- Grated
1 T Lime Rind -- Grated
-----ICING-----
2 Egg Whites -- Large
1 c Sugar
1 T -- Water
2 T Maraschino Cherry Juice
1 T Light Corn Syrup
1/4 t Cream Of Tartar
10 Maraschino Cherries -- Chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream together sugar,
butter and shortening. Add eggs, one at a time,
beating well after each addition. Add flour and Fresca
alternately. Add baking powder and when mixture is
fully creamed, add vanilla and fruit rinds. Pour into
greased and floured 9 X 13-inch Cake Pan. Bake 1 hour
or until cake tester comes out clean. FROSTING:
Mix all ingredients except cherries and beat
constantly while heating in the top of a double
boiler. When thoroughly mixed, thick, and spreadable,
frost cake. Decorate top of cake with chopped
maraschino cherries. NOTE:
Since Fresca is available only in limited areas if at
all, 7-up may be a good substitution, or any
lemon-lime drink. Also, since the problem with the
cherries has been resolved with a different food
coloring, you may use the new ones or use gum drops
instead for the garnish. Syrup from a can of dark
cherries might be substituted for the Maraschino
cherry syrup.
