This cake was a HUGE success. It looked great and tasted like heaven. In all, it took about 3.5 hours to make since I had to run back to the grocery store to buy more ingredients for the frosting and make an additional batch. I was not happy. The amount of frosting with this recipe is ridiculous. It was enough to LIGHTLY frost the layers, top, and take one swipe on the side. Once I had a glass of wine, calmed down, and completed the cake, I was really happy with the results. The guests loved it!!! I will definitely make this again and again, but doubling the frosting recipe. Enjoy!

Baked this the past weekend and my husband could not wait to cut into it. It is a wonderful tasting dessert. I baked 3each 9 inch layers and the cake is georgeous. Now the only thing I would have done different is double the icing recipe. I felt I had to be skimpy with the icing between the layers and I iced the entire cake and not just the top of the layers. I like more icing all around and on top. I will make this cake again and it is great! Thanks for sharing.

I have made this cake twice. I didn't care much for the coconut and nuts the first time so I made it again without them. Both times the layers fell right after getting them out of the oven. Has anyone else had this happen? I followed the recipe exactly. Watched it fall both times! It happens quite quickly as soon as you get the pans out of the oven and set them on the counter. I have made lots of cakes and have never had this happen! I am thinking it might have to do with the size pans I used. No pan dept was specified in the directions, so I used 3 nine inch 1 1/2 deep pans. I did notice that there was not much batter at all in each pan. The cake came out very heavy and hard to eat an small piece. The egg whites were perfect and I folded them in very carefully. Can anyone give me some advice??? Thanks!!

For years my mother would buy an Italian Cream Cake for the family to enjoy for Christmas from a lovely older woman in Abilene, TX . The elderly woman passed away several years ago, and since then we have searched and tried many different versions of other's Italian Cream Cakes, and have been sadly disappointed...until this recipe!! One bite and my family's excitement was written all over their faces! This cake is heaven on a fork. Thank you for sharing this recipe, and for bringing back a little of the sweet joy of the holidays we have been missing.

I just finished cooling the cake and tasted the part I cut off as I leveled the layers. Man is it good. Surprisingly light cake. I've had several dry dense Italian Cream cakes. Not this one. Tomorrow is my wife's birthday and made this because didn't have enough carrots for her favorite carrot cake because it has same icing. Boy am I glad the cupboard was bare of carrots!

This cake was absolutely to die for! I had never eaten or made an Italian Cream Cake before this one. The cake is extremely fluffy, studded with bits of pecans. The icing is so delicious that my friend's mom took the leftover icing home and ate it on toast! : Do not pass up this recipe. You will not be disappointed.
