Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Beat butter and sugar in a mixing bowl with mixer until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Add vanilla. Beat in egg whites one at a time. Mix in food coloring. 2. Beat in flour mixture and soda in three alternating additions, starting and ending with flour. Pour batter into two greased and floured 9-inch pans. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Run a knife around edges to loosen cake; invert cakes onto wire rack. Cool. 3. For frosting, heat the soda in a saucepan over medium-high heat to a boil; cook until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 10 minutes. Cool completely. Beat butter and cream cheese in a bowl with a mixer, 1 minute. Gradually add confectioners' sugar, reduced soda, vanilla and food coloring. Beat until smooth and creamy, adding more confectioners' sugar if too thin. Place one cake layer on a cake plate; spread half of the frosting over the top. Add top layer; cover with frosting. Sprinkle top with grated fruit rind, if desired.
