Courtesy of allrecipes via Pat K., this fruitcake has NO candied fruits at all! Makes four 9" round cakes which are then "filled".

Toss together raisins, coconut and pecans in 1 cup of the flour to coat.
Set aside.
Cream butter and 2 cups sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in yolks one at a time.
Sift together remaining 2 cups flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
Add to creamed mixture, alternating with milk.
Mix until blended.
Fold in raisin/pecan/coconut mixture.
In a clean bowl, whip egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Fold into batter until no streaks remain.
Divide batter among four pans.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes OR until cakes test done with toothpick.
Cool in pans 10 minutes.
Turn our onto wire racks to finish cooling.
FILLING:
Mix 2 cups sugar and 1/4 cup flour in saucepan.
Add water and stir until dissolved.
Chop lemons and oranges into small pieces and add to saucepan.
Bring to a boil.
Cook until thick, about 10 minutes.

Sounds Great Lorraine. I Like The Fresh Ingredients In This. I Think That I'm One Of Only Thirty Five People In the World Who Actually Likes the Traditional Fruit Cake. But, This One Is A Real Winner. Gonna Make Real Soon.
