Prepare Cake Pans: Grease and flour two round cake pans.
-
Cream Shortening and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Prepare Fruits and Nuts: In a separate bowl, mix the crushed pineapple, maraschino cherries, and pecans with 2 tablespoons of flour. This helps to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Alternate Mixing: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the cherry juice, and mixing well after each addition.
-
Fold in Egg Whites: In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cake batter until well combined.
-
Add Fruits and Nuts: Carefully fold in the prepared fruits and nuts mixture until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the cakes spring back when lightly touched in the middle, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from the pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, you can frost the cakes if desired, or simply dust them with powdered sugar before serving.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve slices of this moist and flavorful Tutti-Frutti Cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
- Pair it with a hot cup of coffee or tea for a delightful afternoon snack or dessert.
