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.
