INSTRUCTIONS
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. From
