1 1/4 c. butter
6 egg whites, save yolks for filling
1 c. buttermilk
2 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
4 c. all-purpose flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 4 (9 inch) pans. In large mixer bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg whites, one at a time. Dissolve soda in buttermilk alternately; add that to flour. Pour evenly into pans. Bake 20 minutes. Layers will be thin. Cool 10 minutes and then remove from pan and cool thoroughly.

FILLING:

6 egg yolks
2 c. sugar
1 pkg. seedless raisins
1/2 c. bourbon
3 whole eggs
1/2 c. butter
1 (4 oz.) can flaked coconut
4 c. chopped nuts

Meanwhile, in top of double boiler, combine yolks, eggs, sugar, and butter. Cook over simmering water until thick enough to spread. Add raisins, coconut, nuts, and bourbon. Cook awhile longer and spread between layers.
