The Best Homemade Italian Cream Cake
The Best Homemade Italian Cream Cake is just as amazing as the name sounds – it is a moist, delicious cake with butter cream cheese frosting and topped with sweetened coconut and chopped pecans! Not only that, it’s easy to make and will feed a crowd!
Start by making the cake. As the cake cooks in the oven, make the delicious frosting by stirring together butter, cream cheese, vanilla, and ¼ of the box of powdered sugar. Mix the frosting ingredients on high until smooth before adding more powdered sugar. Continue this process until the powdered sugar box is empty and the frosting is completely smooth. Frost the cooled cake, top with coconut and pecans and serve.
