Best Italian Cream Cake Ever, White Cake Mix Toasted Coconut Pecans Cream Cheese
This is the Italian Cake Recipe that I have made for years and boy what a delicious and showcase cake it is! There is never any left if you take it somewhere. This uses a white cake mix so it makes it easy too! Scroll down for recipe and links! This recipe is in Collard Valley Cooks Volume One Cookbook.
A start to a successful cake is the cake layers! Making a cake is simple and easy if you know and understand the baking techniques. For this you can watch our 1st video post. This video is the recipe for my mother's white layers. I show you the ingredients and the order they should be mixed to make the perfect cake layers for decorating. I hope that you make this your go-to recipe for making birthday, special occasions, and showers. The different ways to decorate a round layer cake will be in tutorials to come. You should first start with the basics and work your way up to being a master baker!
Thanks so much for watching Cake Lessons!

Cake Tips and Advice:
Hard Crust is from high baking temperature or over baking.
Sticky Crust is from too much sugar and under baking
Humped or cracked top of layer- too much flour, too little liquid, over mixing
Soggy bottom layer- too much liquid, eggs not beaten, under mixed
Fallen layer- too much sugar, too much liquid, not enough flour, low temperature on oven setting
Course grain layer - didn't use a soft winter wheat flour, insufficient mixing and low temperature, too much baking powder or soda
Thick, heavy and dense layers - too much liquid, too many eggs, not enough leavening (baking soda) or flour, over mixing, temp too high, Falling Apart: too much sugar, leavening or shortening, under mixing, improper cooling
All About Flour: Cake flour is made from soft winter wheat. All purpose flour is made from spring or winter wheat. Reduce the amount of flour if all-purpose is used for cake flour by 2 tbsp. per cup.
Eggs should always be at room temperature.

Ingredients
CAKE
1/2 cup butter flavored shortening
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
5 eggs, separated, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
1 1/2 cup finely shredded sweetened coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
FROSTING
16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
4 cups confectioner’s sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup finely shredded sweetened coconut
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) and grease and flour three 9 inch cake pans. (I also place parchment paper in the bottom of each pan to prevent sticking) then set aside.
In a separate bowl, sift together flour and baking soda and set aside
In a large bowl with a hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer) cream together shortening, butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Alternate adding the buttermilk and flour mixture to the batter, starting and ending with the buttermilk.
Mix in the vanilla extract
In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form then fold egg whites into the batter
Stir in coconut and pecans (optional)
Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 24-28 minutes. When a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, the cakes are done.
Remove from oven and let cakes sit in pans for 5 minutes before removing from pans and placing on a cooling rack to finish cooling. Remove parchment paper as well.
For the frosting, cream cream together cream cheese and butter.
Add confectioner’s sugar and vanilla and mix well.
Stir in coconut and add pecans (optional)
Frost & decorate cooled cake layers.
Enjoy!!!!
