Ingredients

Servings

• 2.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 cup Granulated sugar
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Milk
• 4 large Egg whites
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Chopped pecans
• 1 cup Sweetened flaked coconut
• 1 cup Raisins
• 1 cup Dried cherries
• 2 tablespoon Dark rum

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk.
4. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into the batter. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
6. In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, pecans, coconut, raisins, cherries, and rum. Spread the filling between the layers of the cooled cakes.
7. Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for at least 1 hour before serving.
