    Title: Lane Cake
    Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Fruits, Nuts
    Yield: 12 servings

    4 Egg whites
    16 1/2 oz Box white cake mix
    1 c Water
    1/4 c Vegetable oil
    15 oz Container coconut pecan
    - frosting
    10 oz Jar maraschino cherries;
    - well drained, chopped
    1 c Coarse chopped pecans
    1/2 c Raisins; chopped
    2 tb Brandy (opt)
    16 oz Container white frosting

    Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

    Coat two 9" round cake pans with cooking spray; set
    aside.

    In a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed,
    beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. In another large
    bowl with electric mixer on medium speed, beat cake mix,
    water, and oil 2 minutes, or until smooth. Fold the
    beaten egg whites into the cake mixture. Divide batter
    between cake pans.

    Bake 23 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in
    center comes out clean. Let cool 10 minutes, then invert
    onto wire racks to cool completely. Cut cakes in half
    horizontally, forming four layers.

    In a medium bowl, combine coconut pecan frosting,
    cherries, pecans, raisins, and brandy, if desired; mix
    well. Place 1 cake layer upside down on a serving plate
    and frost the top with one-third of the coconut pecan
    frosting mixture. Repeat the layers 2 more times and top
    with the fourth cake layer. Frost top and sides with the
    white frosting. Serve, or cover loosely until ready to
    serve.
