MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
      6 lg Egg yolks
      1 c  Sugar
    1/2 c  Butter; in cubes
    1/4 c  Bourbon
      1 tb Orange zest; grated
    1/4 ts Salt
    3/4 c  Raisins
    3/4 c  Sweetened shredded coconut
    3/4 c  Pecans; chopped
    3/4 c  Red candied cherries;
           - coarse chopped
      1 c  Heavy whipping cream;
           - whipped & sweetened
 
  Line bottoms of 3 greased 9" round baking pans with parchment.
  Grease parchment; set aside. Place egg whites in a large bowl; let
  stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
  
  In another large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and
  fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour,
  baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with
  milk, beating well after each addition. Beat egg whites until stiff
  peaks form; fold into batter. Transfer to prepared pans.
  
  Bake @ 325°F/165°C until a toothpick inserted in the center comes
  out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from
  pans to wire racks; remove paper. Cool completely.
  
  For filling, combine egg yolks and sugar in a large saucepan. Add
  butter; cook and stir over medium-low heat until sugar is dissolved
  and mixture thickens (do not boil). Remove from the heat. Stir in
  bourbon, orange zest and salt. Fold in the raisins, coconut,
  pecans, and cherries. Cool.
  
  Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate; spread with a third of the
  filling. Repeat layers twice. Frost sides of cake with whipped
  cream. Refrigerate until serving.
