Preheat oven to 350 F. Cream butter; gradually add sugar, beating at medium speed until light and fluffy. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
Beat room-temperature egg whites at high speed 1 minute. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold into creamed mixture. Pour batter into 4 greased and floured 9" round cake pans. Bake 15-18 minutes, until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Nutty Fruit Filling: combine egg yolks, sugar, and butter in heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 5 minutes, until thickened. Remove from heat; stir in remaining ingredients. Cool.
Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove from pans and let cool completely on wire racks.
Creamy White Frosting: combine first 4 ingredients in heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves and mixture boils. Cook, without stirring, to soft-ball stage, 240 F. Beat room-temperature egg whites until soft peaks form; continue to beat, slowly adding syrup mixture. Add vanilla; continue beating until stiff peaks form and frosting is thick enough to spread.
Spread Nutty Fruit Filling between layers; spread Creamy White Frosting on top and sides. Press coconut into sides, if desired, and garnish top with candied cherries.
