Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans or one 9x13-inch cake pan.
- Reserve 1/4 cup maraschino cherry juice. Coarsely chop the cherries to make 1/2 cup. Set aside.
- Sift cake flour, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and set aside.
- Beat shortening in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium high speed for 30 seconds. Add the 1 1/3 cups white sugar and beat until well combined. Add the egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each.
- Combine 2/3 cup milk and reserved 1/4 cup cherry juice. Add the flour and milk mixture alternately to the shortening mixture, beating on low speed after each addition until just combined. Stir in the chopped cherries and nuts. Pour batter into prepared pans.

- Note: The flavoring might be a bit difficult to find, but can be ordered online from the Superior Prod. Co. Charlotte N.C. as llangrove's review of Aug. 17th 2010 states. (Thank you llangrove for that information!).
Tips:
- Use high-quality maraschino cherries for the best flavor. Look for plump, bright red cherries that are free of blemishes.
- Soak the cherries in maraschino cherry juice or brandy before using them. This will help to plump them up and make them even more flavorful.
- Make sure to drain the cherries well before adding them to the cake batter. Otherwise, the cake will be too wet.
- Don't overmix the cake batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake in a loaf pan for a classic pound cake shape. Or, you can use a bundt pan for a more decorative cake.
- Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help to prevent the glaze from running off the cake.
- For a shiny glaze, use a simple syrup made with sugar and water. Or, you can use a glaze made with confectioners' sugar and milk.
