Lady Baltimore Frosting and Filling Recipe

Combine egg whites, sugar, water and corn syrup in top of double boiler, beating with a whisk until thoroughly mixed. Place over rapidly boiling water, beat constantly with whisk and cook 7 minutes, or until frosting will stand in peaks. Remove from boiling water, add flavoring and beat
until thick enough to spread.
For filling, scald figs and raisins and chop. Add enough frosting to chopped fruit and nuts to make a filling that will spread easily. Spread between layers.
Spread remaining frosting on top and sides of cake. While frosting is soft, sprinkle top of cake with chopped cherries and additional chopped figs, raisins and nuts.
