Mamma's Italian Cream Cake Recipe
This Italian Cream Cake recipe is an oldie but a goody! My nanny used to make it often for special occasions and has since passed this recipe down to mamma. It has always brought so much joy to our family and we all just love it.
A beautiful three layered cake so decadent on the inside and rich and creamy on the outside, one can’t help but smile while eating it. I know I do! Rich, moist and delicious, each layer is filled with coconut and finely chopped nuts. I will be the first to say that with each mouthful, joy will fill your heart.
This Italian treat is simply irresistible!
