AMALGAMATION CAKE (USING A CAKE MIX)
I ate this cake while visiting a friend who used to live in Florence Al. She got the recipe from a co-worker of hers, She hates to share recipes, but I was persistant. (Hey is that like obnoxious?) Fantastic cake, does not even randomly taste like it started with a cake mix. Don't substitute any ingredients, I tried and failed. You can use any white frosting you like.

Steps:
- 1. ****CAKE****Preheat oven to 350°. Cream the butter and sugar. Add the jam and buttermilk.
- 2. In separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, and raisins. Slowly add to mixture. Stir in pecans.
- 3. In a clean second bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks, 3 to 5 minutes. Take a cup or so of the beaten whites and whisk it into the batter. Fold the remaining beaten whites into the batter.
- 4. Divide the batter between three 8 or 9 inch prepared pans. Bake until the tops are slightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool slightly. Invert the cake layers onto a rack to cool completely.
- 5. ****FROSTING****In a double broiler, add butter, sugar, egg yolks and cream. Stir until mixture gets thick enough to spread, about 15 minutes. If it gets too thick, add more cream. Remove from heat and stir in raisins, pecans and coconut.
- 6. Frost cooled cakes between layers and over top. Enjoy! ***Note*** It can take up to 24 hours for the filling/frosting to set so you may have to keep putting it back up on the cake from time to time. Cake can be kept in refrigerator and/or freezer too***

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start, make sure you have all your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cake will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough, so be careful not to over do it. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
- Bake the Cake Properly: Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you put the cake in. Also, don't open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the cake to fall.
- Let the Cake Cool Completely: Before you frost or decorate the cake, let it cool completely. This will help prevent the frosting from melting and the cake from crumbling.
