Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
-
Prepare three 9-inch diameter cake pans by buttering and flouring them.
-
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the butter and 1 3/4 cups of sugar until creamy.
-
Add vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, and beat until smooth.
-
In another large bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
-
Slowly add in 1/4 cup of sugar while continuing to beat the egg whites.
-
Continue beating until stiff but not dry.
-
Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the cake batter.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
-
In a heavy large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
-
Whisk together the remaining 1 1/4 cups of sugar, bourbon, and egg yolks in a medium bowl.
-
Gradually whisk in the melted butter.
-
Return the mixture to the saucepan and whisk over medium heat until very thick, about 6 minutes.
-
Mix in the chopped pecans, raisins, and 1 1/2 cups of flaked coconut.
-
Chill the filling until cold, approximately 1 hour.
-
Place one of the cake layers on a serving platter.
-
Spread 1/3 of the chilled filling over the cake layer, then top with the second cake layer.
-
Repeat the process by spreading another 1/3 of the filling over the second cake layer, then topping it with the third cake layer.
-
Spread the remaining filling over the top of the cake, leaving the sides exposed.
-
Sprinkle additional coconut in a 1-inch border around the top edge of the cake.
-
Garnish the cake with pecan halves for an elegant finishing touch.
-
