Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius.

Prepare three round cake pans by greasing and dusting them with flour.

Mix together butter or margarine, 1 and a quarter cups of sugar, and one and a half teaspoons of vanilla extract in a large bowl until you have a smooth consistency.

Beat the mixture until it becomes light and airy.
5
In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three stages, alternating with milk in two stages, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
7
In a separate bowl, whip egg whites until they become soft and fluffy.
8
Add sugar gradually while whipping until the mixture becomes stiff and holds its shape.
9
Fold the whipped egg whites into the batter to create a smooth texture.
10
Pour the mixture into prepared pans.
11
Bake the cakes for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
12
Allow the cakes to cool.

To make the filling, combine 2 cups of Lady Baltimore Frosting, raisins, nuts, cherries, and one teaspoon of vanilla extract or sherry in a bowl.

Use this mixture as the filling to spread between layers.
15
Spread the remaining frosting on top and sides of the cake.
