Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Mix in the lime and lemon zests until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with the Fresca soda, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and maraschino cherry juice until smooth.
-
If the icing is too thick, add more cherry juice, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
-
Once the cake has cooled, pour the icing over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
-
Garnish with maraschino cherries on top for a decorative touch.
