I am sooo excited to be sharing this week's SUPER FLUFFY Italian Cream Cake recipe! :D Get the full written recipe here: cakesbymk.com/recipe/moist-italian-cream-cake/
I am so frustrated about the comments about the sugar content. Look, if this recipe is not for you then move on and find another that suits your needs. MK works hard to bring us the best recipes that are moist, fluffy, and delicious. If this is too much sugar then do not make it. However, unless you are eating this as a meal or everyday in excess then it is a treat. Having a treat or a slice of cake every once in a while is not going to cause issues. Make adjustments in your everyday cooking to fit your dietary needs. If it is not for you then please move along. You can adjust the recipe but do not blame MK if it is not as good as the original recipe. Long story short-if you find issue or fault with it do not make it. Stop complaining about the recipe and MOVE ON! Sheesh people!
There seems to be a sudden massive - and possibly coordinated - uptick in the “too much sugar” comments. It’s a literal cake baking channel. Do they go on vegan videos and complain about the lack of meat? (Actually, they probably do. 🤦♀️) Full disclosure: A lot of frostings are too sweet for me, so I use meringue powder in my American buttercream to get it to set. But it’s a flavor preference and I’ve never whined on a creator’s page about it. Sugar has multiple important functions in baking and by reducing it on your own, you run a high risk of ruining it.
With all the disease that people are getting from sugar and the alike wanting to use less sugar is the safest thing to do for all of us. We have to adapt.
I love how this lady explains perfectly all her DELICIOUS recipes. She is certainly VERY TALENTED AND PROFESSIONAL. Not very many people present their cooking like she does . There are a lot of cooks that could learn much from her presentations . CONGRATULATIONS to CAKES BY MK!!💃🏻💃🏻🥰🥰👏👏
Mary Ann Great job as usual! I make this Cake also, you gave me tips for making it more moist thank you, love watching your blogs, you’re beautiful person inside and out, the world needs more people like you 🩷🙏🏽🌷
U r simply the BESTEST Baker on the TH-cam ❤❤ I'm so in love with ur recipes ❤ along with my favourite other few bakers like Savvy , gracious treatz ❤ I blindly trust ur recipes my dearest MK ❤❤❤ Request you to please please kindly share an eggless chocolate cake using chocolate in the batter 🙏🙏🙏 my humble request..
@@GilliMarieMoody Hi there! Yes, I put the beaten whites in another bowl. Then (in the same whites bowl) I beat butter, oil & sugar, then add in yolks, extracts & buttermilk til smooth, then stir in the dry ingredients & nuts/coconut. Then fold in the beaten whites. This way I don't have to clean the beaters and use a clean dry bowl for the whites.
MK, I’ve made your eggless cakes. They’re superb. Can you please share more cake recipes for eggless cakes? Or given us substitutions for eggs please. Thank you.
Bismillah hirrahmaa nirraheem sallallaahu alannabiyyil ummiyi wa aalihi wa sallim salaatawwa salaaman alayka yaa rasoolallah sallallaahu alayhi wsalm subhaanallah alhmdulillah allahu Akbar ❤️❤️💜 very tasty maashaa allah
Most cake recipes say do not over mix. I’m always afraid of this and worry but if adding something it needs to get mixed in. How or when do you know if you’re over mixing?
Hi I've been wanting to bake your cakes for a while now and this seems perfect! Do you know if I reduce the sugar by half in both the cake and icing, would the texture change significantly? Also if it does, do you know what I should add instead to keep the texture but reduce the sugar? Thank you!
Everything in moderation. Having a slice of this cake at a celebration is fine, even at the stated sugar ratio. MK has been baking and perfecting her recipes for over 20 years, so they may have high ratios but it is not meant to be a meal or everyday consumption.
I read the recipe for this cake. It only use 1 and 1/3 cups of sugar. Which isn't much considering most cake recipes use two whole cups. Pound cakes use three cups of sugar. I will definitely be making this cake. I also can't wait to make the caramel cake. Please continue to bring us delicious recipes. Thank you.
3 cups of sugar for pound cakes is way too much sugar. I suggest you try 2 cups of sugar instead, it's so much better and easier on the pancreas. BTW, I make pound cakes.
I find your frostings way too much sweet and my friends and family have commented on that too. Otherwise the cakes are delicious though I always reduce the sugar by 30-50 grams as I feel it's too much sugar in your recipe.❤
Looking divine and delicious, but way too much sugar, and it's not really a matter of taste. Sugar is number one source of so many health problems including the acute ones, let's be mindful.
I know, right? I bake a lot and none of my recipes have never called for more sugar in weight than flour. 😮😮 It’s something I noticed on here; the amount of sugar is more than alarming . I have made a couple of MK’s cakes and they are good but at a ratio of sugar to flour 3:2 they are extremely prohibitive.
@@eviewilliams5100the ratio in most cakes is 1 cup flour and 1 cup sugar so 1:1 in this recipe the sugar is actually less than that…its 1 and 1/2 cups flour and 1 and 1/3 cups sugar. I sometimes cut back on sugar especially if I’m doing a banana cake and the bananas are sweet. Also a date or fruit cake does not need a lot of sugar. If you’re doing a sweet frosting and a cream filling I never sweeten the filling. The preference is always yours with regards to how sweet or not sweet your cake is there’s no hard and fast rule with sugar and tbh unless you’re doing to eat the whole cake that amount of sugar is not going to kill you. There are other things out there more harmful to your health …I’d have a piece of cake rather than smoke a whole pkt of cigarettes …just saying
@@cloudydaez Hi, thanks for the feedback. I did start off my comment by saying the ratio in WEIGHT (not cups). I’ve been baking for well over 30 years (yikes) and I promise you I’ve never come across a recipe that asked for more sugar than flour. And like you, of course I reduce sugar in recipes but one can only do that up to a certain point because as you know, successful baking is a matter of chemistry, so one can’t play around too much with the measurements without risking a flop. Sure, sugar is better than smoking, but smoker argues he’s better off than he who is taking hard drugs, so not really relevant as we ARE only talking about sugar here.😊
@@eviewilliams5100 she gave the equivalent of both weight and cups …I’ve been baking for almost 50 years I was taught by my mum who raised 10 kids I think I know a bit about baking as a science although old school like my mother threw things together she didn’t know anything about science she went by taste and that goes for sugar or whatever she thought would make the tastiest dish never had a failed one in all the years she cooked fir our family…my reference to putting other harmful things in your body is more than just sugar like I said a piece of cake won’t hurt unless you ate the whole thing….choices choices choices maybe you could use artificial sweetener if you’re that concerned but I guarantee you won’t eat it
Do you think the cake needs that much sugar and butter? many of us do not like overly sweet cakes and in this cake the cake and the cheese frosting have soooo much sugar and butter. I think that flavor should dominate not sugar or butter. Also, in any quality classical cooking the cake itself is never sweet, and cream cheese frosting has nothing of Italian in it.

And those who are allergic to eggs what must we add ?

Ditto and see any dictionary for definition of cake! MK has many other recipes with little or no sugar. Maybe give those a try.

Masha Allah ♥️ superb 👍🏻😊
Hi MK! Looks devine! I always whip my whites first and set aside, then the yolks and butter plus dry mix, before combining them.
Hi. Sorry, you mix the yolks and butter together then, to the dry mix?
@@GilliMarieMoody Hi there! Yes, I put the beaten whites in another bowl. Then (in the same whites bowl) I beat butter, oil & sugar, then add in yolks, extracts & buttermilk til smooth, then stir in the dry ingredients & nuts/coconut. Then fold in the beaten whites.

@@vicb5098 Okay, will try this, thanks.
@@GilliMarieMoody OK, good. I wasn't sure if I was clear.
Ooohhh so delicious! May I know if I can bake it all in one cake tin instead of 2 separate cake tin? Thank you in advance :)
I did it in one pan by mistake..but it was fine..it took much longer cooking time so it's better to do in 2 pans..
Maravilloso ❤❤. Graciasss por regalarnos otro martes dulce
Yummy I can eat up the that whole cake! Looks delicious 😋
MK, I’ve made your eggless cakes. They’re superb. Can you please share more cake recipes for eggless cakes? Or given us substitutions for eggs please. Thank you.

Hiya, can u please tell me the measurements of the cake tin?

❤❤ yummy 😋😋

Very nice zaberdust ❤❤❤❤❤
I m ur fan..thanku
AMAZING LOVELY THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜, AWESOME
Am confused 🤔 is it really 180g flour to one and half cup??
Usually, we use room temperature ingredients. Why is the cream cheese cold this time?
Eyyyy madam😍
Love your receipes..though my concern is sugar quantity..can it be reduced or there are different types of sugar that are not so intense?
Everything in moderation. Having a slice of this cake at a celebration is fine, even at the stated sugar ratio. MK has been baking and perfecting her recipes for over 20 years, so they may have high ratios but it is not meant to be a meal or everyday consumption.
Half cup sugar does the job just fine.
Are you eating the whole cake yourselves? Btw, you can always reduce the amount of sugar in anything.
I read the recipe for this cake. It only use 1 and 1/3 cups of sugar. Which isn't much considering most cake recipes use two whole cups. Pound cakes use three cups of sugar. I will definitely be making this cake. I also can't wait to make the caramel cake. Please continue to bring us delicious recipes. Thank you.

❤❤❤❤❤
The lemon juice in this frosting is surprising. I would think that would cause the dairy to curdle.
IIRC, the high fat content helps “protect” it from curdling. Like in creamy lemon or wine sauces that go on pasta, chicken, etc.
@lamemechose7072 thanks for the info
Lemon juice enhances the flavour of cream cheese. I do that all the time
@@CliveNaidoo-p6c I'll have to give it a try. Worst case scenario is I'll have to make two cakes 😁
Aslam alakum 🌺🌺🌺 like dun gift 🎁 All ready dun stay connected to my 🏠🥰 very very yummy 🤤 and delicious 🤤 tasty 😋 recipe 👍🤤😍
Ppls share receipes without eggs 🙏
❤😋🥰
Pleas give me Butter coach cake making
No sugar in the meringue? Hmmmm.....
I wonder if the cake would be nice on its own without the frosting. I am trying to reduce the amount of sugar in my desserts.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I find your frostings way too much sweet and my friends and family have commented on that too. Otherwise the cakes are delicious though I always reduce the sugar by 30-50 grams as I feel it's too much sugar in your recipe.❤
Try 2 1/2 cups sugar for the frosting so that it won't be too sweet. 4 1/2 cups is waaaaaay too sweet.

Uve gotta also look at the weight of the cornstarch and the shredded coconut

I think that flavor should dominate not sugar or butter. Also, in any quality classical cooking the cake itself is never sweet, and cream cheese frosting has nothing of Italian in it.
If dont like sugar and sweetness then STOP eating cake and dessert. Simple.
