Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 8 egg whites room temperature
- 1 cup butter room temperature
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup whole milk room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Filling:
- 1 cup pecans
- 1 cup sweetened coconut
- 1 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 cups sugar
- 8 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup bourbon or brandy
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup candied or Maraschino cherries for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three 8-inch cake pans.
- Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer at medium-high speed to cream the butter and sugar well.
- Sift together the flour and baking powder. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk.
- Fold in the beaten egg whites. Stir in the vanilla.
- Divide the cake batter evenly between the three pans.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool in the pans for 15 minutes. Remove the layers from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Make the filling: In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring the egg yolks, butter, sugar, and milk to a low boil. Cook, stirring constantly for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the remaining ingredients except the cherries.
- Allow the filling to cool completely before assembling the cake.
- Place one layer on a cake plate and top with 1/3 of the filling. Repeat with the remaining two layers, leaving the sides of the cake unfrosted.
- Garnish the top with cherries if desired.
Notes
- Some cooks frost the sides of this cake with a white “7-minute” icing. Our family tradition is to leave the sides unfrosted. It’s simply three layers with filling in between and on top.
- Store covered at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.
- May be frozen whole or in individual slices for up to 3 months.
