I am a scratch baker and I am looking for a good Italian Cream Cake recipe. I saw the Italian Cream Cake I recipe. I just wondered if anyone has ever tried it or do you have a favorite recipe from a book or such that I can find. I need it for an up coming event and would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
ive use earlene moores recipe for italian cream cake. it was good, but i haven't tried any others to compare it to though. its listed on her website, but here it is too: (it makes a TON! halving it would fill two 8x2 rounds)
Italian Cream Cake
Maximum recipe for a Kitchenaid 5 qt. bowl.
You will need two large mixing bowls
Put in mixing bowl #1
4 Cups Granulated sugar
1 1/4 Cups Wesson
1/1/4 Cups Margarine
1 Cup Egg Yolks
2 Tablespoons Butavan
Beat until light and fluffy
Place all the egg whites in a grease free mixing bowl #2 and with the beater or wire whip, beat at the highest speed until stiff peaks are formed
Measure
3 Cups Cake flour plus
3 Cups Regular flour
2 1/2 Cups Buttermilk and 2 1/2 t. soda in a 4 cup container and stir.
Add the flour alternately with the buttermilk and soda mixture.
Measure 2 cups coconut (a 14 oz. pkg.) and 2 cups pecans into a large bowl. Mix or stir to break up the coconut chunks. Add the cake mixture and stir.
Fold in the stiff beaten egg whites until incorporated and fill pans 2/3 full immediately and place in a 300 degree oven for 55 minutes for small cakes or up to 1 1/2 hours for large cakes. This cake doesn't rise as much as other cake batters.
edited to add: i didn't have butuvan so i used half vanilla and half almond. i really liked it, i wonder if it would be even better with butuan?
I really like this recipe:
