Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Fold in the beaten egg whites.
-
Stir in the raisins, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, and whiskey.
-
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually add the powdered sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and whiskey. Beat until smooth.

Spread the frosting between the cake layers and on top. Decorate as desired.
