Mmmmm....I'll take a piece of that! Sounds absolutely divine! I love Italian desserts!


Sounds wounderful. thanks


I adore Italian Cream Cake, and this one sounds fantastic! Thanks for sharing.


Sounds good--and it looks like a good basic cake, even without the goodies. I suppose you could also take it in slightly different directions, like with thin slices of candied grapefruit peel?
