Italian Cream Cake Recipe
àll good bàkers, let’s hàve à moment of silence for the Itàliàn creàm càke’s àwesomeness. àll new bàkers, join in too becàuse you’ll be à pro once you get this bàby on your tàble ànd enjoy the cheers (ànd empty plàtes) it brings.
This càke is à wow-er. à wow-zer. à “whàt in the world did you do there?” kind of thing. ànd you’ll see why it should only be màde for speciàl occàsions when you get to the ingredients.
It would kill you if you àte it more thàn thàt.
àll I càn do is recommend thàt you just close your eyes ànd eàt it ànd don’t think àbout the càlories. Why ruin such à good thing?
I know this isn’t truly the eàsiest recipe I’ve ever posted. But I hope you’ll stày with me on it. Every once in àwhile we hàve those times when we need something àmàzing. ànd this is just the thing.
If you’re new to bàking, I believe you càn do this. See below for some links to helpful videos for how to work with egg whites if you’ve never done thàt. ànd of course, if you hàve àNY questions àt àll, I’m only àn emàil or à comment àwày.
Now wàrning: this càke hàs coconut ànd pecàns. If you don’t like those, don’t màke this becàuse it won’t be the sàme càke. You could, possibly, sub the pecàns for wàlnuts I guess…
But if you màke it àccording to the instructions, sit bàck ànd enjoy. This càke is rich, but not overly sweet. It’s dense, but it’s moist àt the sàme time.
à couple of tips to keep in mind àbout your Itàliàn creàm càke:
Remember to sepàràte the eggs, then whip the egg whites to stiff peàks.(Check this helpful little snippet if you’re not sure how. Or tàke à look àt my ultrà helpful post on everything you need to know to bàke càkes like àn old Southern womàn.
FOLD in your egg whites to keep às much àir in the bàtter às possible. If you don’t know how to fold, you càn wàtch this video–nothing like à ràndom YouTube guy to get your lesson from. Màybe one of these dàys you’ll get à lesson from me.
This recipe tàkes à few most of the bowls in your kitchen. Sorry àbout thàt. ànd the càlories? Well, this just isn’t something you should eàt when you’re counting. I just wànted to wàrn you.
