AUTHENTIC OLD FASHIONED ITALIAN CREAM CAKE RECIPE WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
THE BEST ITALIAN CREAM CAKE
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.
Beat until stiff 5 egg whites. Cream together: 2 cups sugar 1 stick butter softened ½ cup Crisco Shortening 5 egg yolks 1 cup buttermilk 1 teaspoon baking soda
ITALIAN CREAM CAKE RECIPE INGREDIENTS
BEAT THE EGG WHITES
I find it easiest to separate the eggs and beat the egg whites before starting to mix together the other cake ingredients. Beat the egg whites until they are stiff. I use a glass bowl for the egg whites.
Cream the sugar, butter, and shortening together. Soften the butter before mixing. I use those handy dandy shortening sticks.
MIX THE INGREDIENTS
Add the next four ingredients and mix well. The next step says to add the vanilla, nuts, and coconut and mix by hand but I use the mixer for this step too. Fold in the beaten egg whites by hand.
