My mama used to make this cake every Christmas! She has been in Heaven since 2009 and I haven’t made one since. Every year at Christmas time I think about making one and it’s been so hard for me to do. Leslie u have inspired me to make one this year. Thank u !💜
That cake looks scrumptious and your house looks so cozy with all the decorations in the background. Many years ago a wise home ec teacher taught me to measure shortening, lard, butter, or margarine, just put cold water in a measuring cup. Say you need a half cup of shortening. Just put a half cup cold water then spoon the shortening into the water until the water reaches one cup. So now you have a half cup of water and a half cup of shortening. Then just pour the cold water out. Works every time.
Yummy and what a sweet idea for your loved ones. A tip to remove yolk or a piece of shell from the egg white is to use the broken shell and dip it out. I hope and pray Caroline is feeling better!
Italian Cream Cake will forever remind me of my mama. When she first discovered that recipe (in a church cookbook) and made one it was on! She made them so much that she didn't need to refer to the recipe very long. Every year she would make them and freeze them when she had time (she was a chicken farmer too) and bring them out as Christmas gifts for neighbors and friends, and of course there was always one for our table too! Thanks for the memories!
You can always beat your egg whites first if you want to use the big mixer. Scrape them out into another bowl with a rubber spatula and then proceed with the cake mixing. That tiny bit of egg white left on the bowl shouldn't affect the batter. It is handy having more than one bowl for the KA mixer though.
Hey Leslie. It's your brother in the Lord, Bobby from Tennessee. I pray every day at 7 PM. You and Bryant are precious people and God fearing saints. You are a blessing. I try to pray every single day for you guys. Not bragging, just letting you know prayers are going up..blessings coming down. Amen?
Bobby that's so nice I was wondering if you could pray for me I've been thru foot surgery and leg surgery need the Lord's healing he'S been so faithful all my life, I trust him bless you
Leslie, the most beautiful tasty cakes I have EVER eaten are done by non professional ppl!! Looks so good to me!! I AM going to make your recipe. Heaven knows there are a bunch recipes out there. I am so glad you didn't use a "box" cake mix!! Yours IS homemade. I love you and your sunshine smile. Your also a GREAT cook!!!
It sure looks delicious! I have had this cake at church homecomings and never forgot about it. Someday I will make one when there are others to help eat it. Otherwise, I would have to eat it all. You look so good Leslie and actually the weight loss makes you look younger.
That looks so delicious ! I always think any layer cake looks so pretty ! That is a nice way for family to help out and share a cake ! Great job Leslie and thanks for sharing!
I always cut a circle of waxed or parchment paper for the bottom of my cake pans. Never sticks and always comes out perfect this recipe sounds delicious
Beautiful cake, must be delicious! I will try your recipe, I learned a lot about how to make a light, moist and fluffy cake! I picked up some great tips for my Italian Cannoli cake recipe as well! Great Job!❤️
Nice to see it made from scratch. So many use the "box mix" and then call it "homemade". Keep up the good work. Next you make it trying chopping the pecans finer for the side of the cake 👍
Leslie your face is so much thinner! Your new way of eating is definitely 👍 working. You have been busy decorating for the holidays and it's very nice looking!! Thanks 😊 for sharing ❤ this recipe 😋 with us. The cake 🎂 😍 looks 👌 absolutely fantastic 👏 and I'm sure it will be truly 😋 scrumptious!!! It definitely will be perfect for holidays & special occasions. Congratulations to your niece's daughter and the groom 👏!!!
I've made this cake years ago. It is so delicious but so many steps. It is one that I have only rarely made. Perfect cake choice for a wedding, Leslie...and I love this multi-cake idea! ❤ Karen from Jacksonville, FL
Yum first Tammy made one now you did but yours is the actual made from scratch cake I never heard of Italian cream cake . It sure looks delicious I wish I could make one but it’s hard to do a cake with just two people thanks for sharing!
That cake looks so good. I don't use cream cheese for icing because they say put in the fridg and I have no room in mine and besides I think using butter is better. That is what my mom used and they used years ago.
I always make cream cheese icing when I make my Hummingbird Cake. That is a favorite with my family. Your cake looks so good. I love watching you cook. Love you sweet lady. Have a blessed weekend. Oh My that looks so good. I think I just gained a couple of pounds watching you make it.
Ms Leslie, that looks delicious! I sure don't have one of those cake spinning stands, but I might try a lazy susan to spin the beauty around. Wonderful job!
Yes, I've taken the cake decorating course at Michael's, it was great. You should by a cake scraper for the sides and top it alot easier. I will try you cake next week.
Looks DELICIOUS 😋😊 Great Job👍🏻❤ I never heard of a kitchen scarf 🤔 I like using a lazy susan to frost, it makes it easier to frost. This was a great idea to have family members make a cake for the wedding. Thanks for sharing and Happy Wedding Blessing to the wedding couple 🙏🏻❤
Oh my goodness! That cake looks absolutely delectable, Leslie!!! My mouth is watering just watching it come together😉. Your niece's cake table reminded me of the cookie tables all done up for our own kids' weddings💖!! If you Google Youngstown cookie table or Pittsburgh cookie table, you'll see what I'm talking about! Friends and family all get going on recipes to share. It's a well known custom in the Y-town area, as well as Pittsburgh (our last home was in a suburb of Y-town and only 45 minutes from Pittsburgh😊). Interestingly, when our daughter was married in Dayton (SW Ohio), local guests did not know of the tradition. People walked along, openly staring, but many did not take a single cookie!!! Nor did they take a wedding dessert bag filled with their choices!! We were astonished, still chuckle about it!! We were pleased to do the table because our daughter and son-in- love were thrilled with it💕 Your niece is so blessed to have you and other loved ones baking cakes to celebrate her special celebration day♥️!!! Sending 🤗🤗🤗 -Susan ♥️

I think your mom would want you to make the 🎂 in her honor and memory. You will be glad you did.May the 🕊️ Peace of Christ surround you.
As being an employee with Walmart,I am sure glad to see someone who is not afraid of using our store brands .Thank you so much.
Love Great Value products
I use them all of the time too .
I was holding my 2 month old while watching this video and she was mesmerized.

Wow iwill have to remember this thank you
I bet the rustic charm of this cake makes it better than any professional decorated cake. It looks delicious!
Yummy and what a sweet idea for your loved ones. A tip to remove yolk or a piece of shell from the egg white is to use the broken shell and dip it out. I hope and pray Caroline is feeling better!
You are looking so great Leslie proud for you!
Thank you
Work of deliciousness ❤️
I think that is probably my all-time favorite cake. So glad you post recipes that most people can make. Thank you
Also how cool, people who want to know how to make it at the wedding can watch your video!

Yum!!!! Italian cream cake & carrot cake are my 2 favorites! Looks delicious
Beautiful💗 The way to keep crumbs out of your frosting is to put a thin powder sugar glaze over the cake first. It also keeps your cake fresh longer.
It sure looks delicious! I have had this cake at church homecomings and never forgot about it. Someday I will make one when there are others to help eat it. Otherwise, I would have to eat it all. You look so good Leslie and actually the weight loss makes you look younger.

When you said "hold on" I knew you were going to lick the icing 🤣❤💯Amen Bubbles😋
You did a reat job. Lv n Prayers.
Love you so much, looking good 👰♂️
Hey Leslie you should try putting some cream of tartar in your egg whites to help the peak. 🥰
I do when I make a marine topping but on this particular cake it is not needed.
