Cream butter and 1 3/4 C sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Sift 3 1/4 C flour, spices and baking powder together. Add to egg mixture alternately with milk. Beat well. Fold in raisins and nuts. Bake in 4 (9-inch) layers. While cake cools, make filling. Mix 3 C sugar, 4 T flour, oranges, lemons and pineapple in saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often until thick like honey. Cool and add coconut. Spead between layers of cake and on top and sides.
I have no idea why this is called a "japanese" fruitcake.
