This Italian Cream Cake is so good... it's better than some bakery cakes we've had. The cake is so moist it almost falls apart thanks to the addition of buttermilk. We love the crunch toasted pecans add. The cream cheese frosting is rich, decadent, and the perfect complement to this cake. Don't be stingy on the frosting... the recipe makes a lot so you'll have more than enough. This recipe starts with a boxed cake and is so easy a beginner baker will have success. We added some toasted coconut, along with the suggested pecans, for a pretty presentation. A beautiful cake that's perfect for a holiday, but easy enough to make every day.
