I have a cake recipe that is really good, but I am wondering if I can replace the shortening it calls for with butter or margarine and replace perhaps 2 or 3 whole eggs for the 5 egg whites it calls for. It is a marachino cherry cake. I thought perhaps it would not be so heavy if I used butter or margarine.
