It may look like there’s a lot going on in this cake, but let us assure you, the elements work together beautifully. The cake is made with a moist and fluffy sponge that gets its flavor from creamy buttermilk, sweet coconut flakes, and crunchy pecans. The layers of the cake are then stacked with a smooth and velvety cream cheese frosting, the tang perfectly balanced with a hint of vanilla and almond. With its indulgent taste and stunning presentation, it’s the perfect dessert for holidays, birthdays, or any time you want to really wow your guests!
Folks can rarely resist going back for another slice, and we can’t blame them. I’ll admit I swipe more than a few spoonfuls of frosting before any actually makes it onto the cake. If you’re not as confident in your cake assembly skills, this can also be made in a 9×13 pan instead, you’ll just need to keep on eye on the bake time and adjust accordingly. No matter the occasion, this Italian Cream Cake is sure to steal the show.
