Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 pound raisins
1 cup butter
2 cups white sugar
6 eggs, separated
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup milk
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
2 cups white sugar
1 ½ cups hot water
4 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1 lemon -- peeled, seeded and minced
2 large orange, peeled, sectioned, and cut into bite-size
1 pound flaked coconut
1 cup pecan halves
1 cup maraschino cherries, halved

Steps:

  • Dedge the raisins in 1 cup flour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter and flour two 9 inch round pans.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter or margarine and sugar; add egg yolks, and beat until smooth. Mix in flour mixture in parts alternately with milk. Stir in coconut, pecans, and raisins.
  • In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold into batter, and then pour batter into prepared pans.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until done. Cool layers on wire racks.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, water, flour, lemon and orange. Cook over medium heat until thickened. Stir in coconut and cook for 2 minutes. Allow to cool, and then ice cake. Alternate pecan halves and maraschino cherries halves around top of cake to form a pinwheel.
