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.
