 2 1/2 c  A-P flour
     2 c  Sugar
     2 ts Grated orange zest
     1 ts Baking powder
   1/2 ts Baking soda
   1/8 ts Salt
 1 1/3 c  Buttermilk

     2 c  Butter; softened
     6 c  Confectioners' sugar;
          - sifted
     2 ts Vanilla extract
   1/3 c  Heavy whipping cream
     1 c  Fine chopped pecans;
          - toasted

 In a small bowl, combine raisins and figs. Add brandy;
 toss to combine. Let stand, covered, at room temperature
 until brandy is absorbed, about 2 hours, stirring
 occasionally.

 Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.

 Line bottoms of 3 greased 8" round cake pans with
 parchment; grease paper.

 In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, orange zest, baking
 powder, baking soda and salt until blended. Add
 buttermilk, butter and vanilla; beat on low speed 30
 seconds or just until dry ingredients are moistened.
 Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Add egg whites; beat 2
 minutes longer.

 Transfer batter to prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick
 inserted in center comes out clean, 20-25 minutes. Cool
 in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool
 completely.

 For frosting, in a large bowl, cream butter until
 fluffy. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar. Beat in
 vanilla and enough cream to reach desired consistency.
 For filling, remove 1 cup frosting to a small bowl; stir
 in pecans and raisin mixture.

 Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate; spread with half
 the filling. Add another cake layer; top with remaining
 filling. Add remaining cake layer; spread remaining
 frosting over top and side of cake.
