Our shortcut version of a classic Italian cream cake uses a cake mix, but has a homemade cream cheese frosting and is topped with flaked coconut and chopped pecans.
The link for the Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe doesn't work. The results says, "Page Not Found". Is it just a basic cream cheese frosting?
I loved the ease and taste of this cake. But instead of pecans I used macadamia nuts. Next time stick with pecans
I don’t Understand about the cake mix. Do you look for a cake mix that has pudding included or do you buy vanilla pudding?
This is a great recipe! Every bite was enjoyed!
Thank's for this exellent shortcut!
Friends remarked: this is the best cake EVER.
There is nothing like a from scratch Italian Cream Cake but for having to throw one together in a hurry this was amazing. Since the group I was cooking for is a bunch of sots I increased the rum a bit more. Also my coconut was a little dry so moistened it w/ a little rum as well. Guess that makes my version an Italian Rum Cake. Still it's an amazingly good cake.
