Ingredients:

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 3½ cups sifted cake flour
  • 4 tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 8 oz. butter
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ tsp. rosewater
  • 8 egg whites
  • FOR THE ICING:
  • 4 cups sugar
  • 6 egg whites
  • ½ tsp. rosewater
  • ½ cup chopped raisins
  • ½ cup chopped figs
  • 2 tbsp. chopped candied orange peel
  • 1½ cups chopped pecans

Instructions:

  1. Make the cake: Heat oven to 375°. Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cream sugar and butter in a stand mixer on medium-high until fluffy. With the motor running, alternately add dry ingredients in 3 batches and milk in 2 batches. Add rose water; increase speed to high and beat until batter is smooth, about 5 seconds. In a separate bowl, whip whites until stiff peaks form; fold into batter. Divide batter between 3 greased 9″ round cake pans; bake until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean, 25–30 minutes. Invert cakes onto wire racks; let cool.
  2. Make the icing: Boil 2 cups water in a 4-qt. saucepan. Stir in sugar; cook until dissolved, about 5 minutes, and set syrup aside. In a stand mixer, whip whites until stiff peaks form. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in reserved syrup; whip until icing is room temperature, about 10 minutes. Beat in rose water. Transfer 3 cups icing to a bowl; mix 1⁄2 cup pecans, the raisins, orange peel, and figs into remaining icing.
  3. To assemble, place one cake layer on a cake stand; spread with one-third the fruit-and-nut icing. Repeat with remaining layers and fruit-and-nut icing, ending with icing. Spread plain icing over top and sides of cake; press remaining pecans onto sides of cake. Chill 20 minutes before serving.
