Italian Cream Cake Family Favorite Recipe

Time to share the Italian Cream Cake family favorite recipe. We have this cake on special occasions.

Was your long weekend filled with fun and laughter. Ours was. We celebrated 3 birthdays and visited with out of town guests. It’s always nice to see family.

I’m sharing the recipe with you so you or your favorite baker can give it a try. I know that’s not my usual thing here on the blog….cooking and recipes…….I don’t want to get too predictable though.


The cake is a pain in the rear to make but worth all the pain. I once tried a shortcut I found in Southern Living Magazine and it was a bust. Of course my daughter never lets me live that one down. I tried the shortcut recipe on her birthday instead of her dad’s birthday or her brother’s birthday.

Well, it was near her birthday when I found the shortcut recipe. That’s why she was the guinea pig. Anyway I make this Italian cream cake recipe  2-3 times a year……using the pain-in-the-rear-to-make good recipe.
