Italian Cream Cake Recipe (with Cake Mix) ????????????????????
My Italian cream cake recipe from cake mix is easy and delicious. This classic Southern Christmas cake is a yellow cake with toasted coconut and pecans, the roasting process bringing out an incredible amount of flavor. The cream cheese frosting has pecans and coconut as well, so all parts of this cake are absolutely full of flavor. If you want to learn how to make Italian cream cake from cake mix, this video is for you!
My Italian cream cake recipe is very easy because it starts with a box of cake mix. Buttermilk is the main liquid, the sourness creating an acidic environment that helps make the cake light and fluffy. Although I usually add a neutral-flavored oil to my layer cakes, I added melted butter to this cake because most traditional recipes from scratch call for butter and / or shortening.
However, most of the flavor in this cake comes from the coconut and pecans. Most classic recipes call for roasted nuts and pecans, so even though you could add these mix-ins straight from the bag and still make a good cake, I highly recommend that you toast the coconut and nuts in the oven since doing so really brings out the flavor. Along with a teaspoon of coconut extract and a small box of vanilla pudding mix, this cake is full of flavor.
Even though a lot of frostings would likely be good on this cake, I followed tradition and used cream cheese icing with toasted pecans and coconut mixed into the frosting. When I started assembling the cake, I realized that the dry coconut and nuts had absorbed a lot of the liquid in the frosting, making the frosting thicker, drier, and harder to spread than normal. A teaspoon or two of milk or cream would have made it easier to spread, but I still managed to frost the cake just fine. Also, when I finally tried the cake and tasted the frosting, I did not think that the cream cheese icing was overly dry. It may have been a bit drier than normal, but not unpleasantly so. The thing happened with the batter: although the coconut and pecans absorbed some of the moisture and made the batter appear a bit dry, the finished product did not seem dry at all. As you can see, making Italian cream cake from a box mix is really easy.
After chilling the cake in the refrigerator for a few hours, I then sprinkled the top with some more coconut and pecans before serving myself the first slice. This was the first time I had ever made an Italian cream cake recipe, as well as the first time I had ever tried the cake, and I was honestly very surprised by how delicious it was. I knew it was going to be good, but I didn't know it was going to be that good. I am sure that ingredients such as butter and coconut extract contributed to the overall flavor, but I felt like the coconut and pecans gave the cake most of its flavor. Describing the flavor of Italian cream cake is very difficult, but I think calling it a coconut pecan cake is the best, easiest way to describe it. The cream cheese frosting was the perfect touch, the tanginess helping to balance out the sweetness of the flaked coconut both in the cake and in the icing itself. The texture was very nice, too: the cake layers were light and fluffy, and the frosting was rich and creamy. Although both the cake and icing seemed a bit dry while making them, when I finally tasted them, both tasted fine.
Honestly, this Italian cream cake recipe from cake mix is the best Christmas cake. Even though roasting the coconut and pecans in the oven takes a few minutes, this cake is surprisingly easy given how delicious it is. In a way, I am a bit surprised that this cake is not more popular. If you are looking to try a unique yet traditional dessert this Christmas, learn how to make Italian cream cake!
