RECIPE BELOW! Just got my hands on this 207-piece cake decorating kit from TikTok Shop! 🍰✨ Watch me whip up a gorgeous Italian cream cake with all the tools I could ever need. For the Cake * 1 cup 2 sticks (226g) unsalted butter, softened * 2 cups (400g) sugar * 5 large eggs separated * 2 cups (242g) all-purpose flour * 1 teaspoon (5g) baking soda * ¼ teaspoon salt * 1 cup (242g) buttermilk * 1 teaspoon (4g) vanilla extract * 1 cup (85g) chopped pecans * 1 cup (75g) flaked sweetened coconut FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING * 2 sticks (226g) unsalted butter, softened * 16 oz cream cheese (total weight 452g), softened (We used two 8 oz packages, full fat) * 1 teaspoon 4g vanilla extract * 6 to 6 ½ Cups 690g to 747g powdered sugar * 1 cup chopped pecans, toasted (Some bakers like to fola the pecans into the frosting. We prefer to add them to the frosted cake as decoration.) Instructions For the Cake 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three
8x2 inch pans. You can also use 9 inch pans. 2. Mix butter at medium speed until softened and smooth.
Gradually add sugar, mixing on medium speed 4 to 5 minutes. 3. Add egg yolks, one at a time, beating after each addition until the yellow of the yolk is blended. Add Vanilla 4. Increase mixing speed and beat until fluffy, approximately 1 minute 5. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture (that is 3 additions of dry ingredients and 2 additions of buttermilk) After last addition, mix just until blended.. 6. Fold in pecans and coconut; using a spoon or spatula until combined. 7. Beat egg whites at high speed until stiff peaks form.
Using a spatula or spoon, gently fold into batter. 8. Spoon batter into three 8 or 9" round cake pans. Bake at
350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove and cool on wire racks. For the Cream Cheese Frosting 1. Cut the butter into slices and add to the bowl of your mixer. Beat on low to medium speed until the butter is softened and smooth. 2. Cut the cream cheese into pieces and add to the butter, beating at low to medium speed until incorporated. 3. Add the vanilla. Gradually add the powdered sugar beating on low speed until blended. 4. Increase mixing speed and beat until fluffy, approximately 1 minute, don't over beat. If beaten too long it will become very soft. If this happens, just refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes. 5. This frosting will pipe best if used while still very cool.
You can make it in advance, refrigerate and when ready to use let it soften slightly (do not microwave) and remix. 6. Will frost a 3 layer 8 or 9 inch cake. Cool layers before filling and frosting. 7. We filled and frosted the cake with cream cheese frosting. Chill at any time during the decorating process to firm things up (15 minutes in the freezer or longer Recipe from: My Cake School 🙌🎂 #CakeDecorating #BakingWithLove #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt #ItalianCreamCake #BakingKit #HomeBaker #Fal#FallDealsForYouk#tiktokshopBlackFridayk#TikTokShopCyberMondayk#tiktokshopholidayhaulzycountdown #Cak#CakeArtk#CakeDesignk#CakeInspirationk#Bakingk#BakingLovek#BakingTimek#BakingFunk#BakingIsFunk#BakingBlogk#Baking101k#BakingLifek#BakingTipsk#BakingFromScratchs#PastryChefk#BakingAddictionk#BakingTherapyk#BakingPassionk#BakeFromScratche#SweetBakesveToBake
