Note: I use Organic Blood Orange Soda from Safeway.
2
For the cake: Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
3
Beat butter and sugar in a mixing bowl with mixer until light and fluffy. Add vanilla. Beat in egg whites one at a time. Mix in food coloring.
4
Into the creamed mixture, beat in the flour mixture and the soda in three alternating additions, starting and ending with flour. Pour batter into two greased and floured 9-inch or 8-inch pans.
5
Bake at 350F for 35 (9-inch pan) or 45 (8-inch pan) minutes.
6
For the frosting:
7
Heat the soda in a saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/4 cup. This will take about 15 minutes at a rapid boil and must be watched. Or you can cook it on medium-low boil for 25 minutes.
8
Cool completely.
9
Beat butter and cream cheese in a bowl with a mixer, 1 minute. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, the reduced soda, vanilla and food coloring. Beat until smooth and creamy. Frost onto your completely cooled cake.
