Generously butter inside of pans, then place paper inside pans, and generously butter the paper. This helps prevent the cakes from drying out during storage.

- Beat together butter and sugar.
- Add 8 whole eggs and 7 egg yolks to butter/sugar mixture. Mix well.
- Add fruit and nuts, lemon juice and rind, and flour, stirring well after each addition. Keep stirring until batter is well mixed.
- Beat egg whites until stiff. Fold into batter.
- Put batter into prepared pans.
- Bake about 3 hours in 300 degree F. oven.
- Let cool ten minutes in pans. Leaving the paper on the cakes, remove cakes from pans and let cool completely on racks. Wrap tightly in saran and then foil. Store in refrigerator or in a cool, dry place for several weeks, or freeze for up to one year.
