How to Make Lane Cake White Four Layer Cake With Filling
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour four 8-inch round baking pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- **Prepare the Filling:** In the top of a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water), combine the sugar and butter.
- Beat well until smooth. Stir in the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually whisk in the water and brandy extract.
- Cook over simmering water, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in the pecans, raisins, and coconut.
- Let the filling cool completely.
- Once the cakes and filling are completely cool, layer the cakes with the filling.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with your favorite white creamy frosting or Seven Minute Frosting.
