Remove 24 cherries from the jar, remove stems and cut cherries into fourths. Add cut cherries to cake batter. Whisk again until combined. Pour batter into prepared baking pan.

Meanwhile: Add butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or place in a large bowl and use and hand mixer). Beat butter until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

If icing is too thick, add more cherry juice 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency, beating in between each addition. If it is too thin add powdered sugar 1 tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency, beating in between each addition.
