1
Place egg whites in a large bowl; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350u00b0. Line bottoms of two greased 9-in. round baking pans with parchment paper; grease paper.

In a large bowl, cream butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. In a small bowl, mix cream and cherry juice. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with cream mixture, beating well after each addition. Fold in cherries and walnuts. With clean beaters, beat egg whites on medium speed until stiff glossy peaks form. Fold into batter.
