How to Make Amalgamation Cake Using A Cake Mix

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Lightly grease and flour two 8-inch round baking pans.
  3. In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) white cake mix, 1 cup water, and 3 large egg whites.
  4. Mix on low speed for 1 minute until just combined.
  5. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
  6. Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  7. Bake for 32-36 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cakes cool in pans for 15 minutes.
  9. Invert cakes onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. **Prepare the Filling:**
  11. In a double boiler (or microwave-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water), whisk together 4 large egg yolks, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter.
  12. Cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens significantly (about 8-10 minutes). *Microwave method:* Microwave on 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until thickened. (Microwave time will vary)
  13. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup chopped pecans, 1/2 cup raisins, and 1/2 cup shredded coconut.
  14. Mix well until evenly distributed.
  15. Once the cakes are completely cool, spread a generous layer of the filling between the cake layers.
  16. Frost the sides and top of the cake with your favorite white frosting.
