      2 ea 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 ea 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.
