It consists of four layers of white sponge cake separated by a filling of egg yolks, butter, raisins with a generous amount of bourbon or brandy. Modern versions may contain pecans, coconut and other ingredients in the filling. It is frosted with a white icing made from whipped egg whites and sugar.
