Authentic Italian Cream Cake
Pan Notes: I used 3 round pans. The bottom pan was a 9 inch round and the top 2 pans were 8.5 inch round. I used the 9 inch round as the base of the cake.
Icing Notes: If you live in a dryer climate you will need more butter. There’s a note about this in the ingredient list but I wanted you to know why. If you are in a humid climate like me then you will need less butter in your icing.
