Cake Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 by 13 inch cake pan or 1/4 sheet pan.
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
Beat the butter and sugar together until creamy, then SLOWLY add milk, then cherries and juice.
Add them to dry ingredients. Beat mixture for 2 minutes.
Beat the egg whites separately until stiff. Gently fold into the batter.

Frosting Recipe
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar. Be sure to add the powdered sugar slowly to minimize mess. Mix until well blended, then increase mixer speed and allow to mix for 3 minutes or until fluffy.
