This cake is also known as Italian Wedding walmart ice cream Cake. There are
also clues that may link this cake with the Delmonico or Hummingbird cakes. It
is perfect for any special occasion. The cake is at its best when it remains
moist, so do not over bake. Once you have it mastered, this cake will be both
rich and delicate. You do not even have to frost it well. Traditionally, it is
supposed to look rustic, so smearing the cake with frosting in all its
rough-hewn glory should be more than adequate.
Recipe for Italian Cream Cake
Why save this recipe for a special occasion when you can
make it whenever you want?
What You Need
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
5 large eggs, separated
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup coconut
Pecan Cream Cheese Frosting
1 cup chopped pecans
1 package cream cheese (8 oz), softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract
16 ounces powdered sugar, sifted
How to Make It
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Oil and flour
3nine inch cake pans and set aside for later. Mix the butter and shortening in a
large bowl. Using a medium speed on your mixer, cream it until it is light and
fluffy. Add the sugar in a slow, steady stream to the mixture, beating well.
Add the yolks one at a time, blending each one completely before adding the
next. Stir in the vanilla.
Mix the flour and baking soda in a bowl. Add the dry
ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin with
the dry mix and end with the dry mix. Use a low speed to blend together. Stir
in the coconut. Wash your beaters until they are clean. In another large clean
bowl, beat the egg whites until you form stiff peaks. Fold gently into the batter.
Pour batter into the
walmart ice cream cake pans and bake in the oven for 25
minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let pans cool
on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans and let them finish
cooling on wax paper lined racks.
Frosting:
Roast the pecans in a small pan at 350 degrees Fahrenheit
for 5 to 10 minutes or until lightly toasted. Let them cool. This adds a lot of
flavor. Beat vanilla, butter, and cream cheese together at medium speed until
it is creamy. Add 2 cups of sugar a little bit at a time on low until
completely blended. Turn up the mixer to high to smooth out the frosting. Stir
in the pecans.
Lay the first walmart ice cream cake layer on a platter and apply a layer of
frosting. Top with the second cake layer and repeat. Top with the third cake
layer. Apply the remaining frosting to the top and sides of the cake. Decorate
with extra pecans if you wish
