with Coconut Butter cream frosting
We used the "Pioneer Woman's) recipe http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/07/billies-italian-cream-cake-recipe/
Ingredients
FOR THE CAKE:
1 stick Butter
1 cup Vegetable Oil
1 cup Sugar
5 whole Eggs (separated)
3 teaspoons Vanilla
1 cup Coconut (from PW: If You Think You Hate Coconut, Trust Me: I Do Too, And I Love It In This Recipe)
2 cups All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 cup Buttermilk
Most Italian cream Cakes call for Cream Cheese Frosting, but I didn't have any cream cheese in the house so we made coconut butter cream, which was equally as yummy.
The problem is I didn't really measure any of the ingredients for the frosting, but it's basically...
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup shortening
3to 4 tbs milk
Powder sugar until the right consistency
1tsp of coconut flavoring
