while making this I was listening to, Tempted by Squeeze, Above Ground by Norah Jones and Hey Ya by out Cast. I think the combination of music helped the cake turn out better.

  1. Hello Kristin, what a decadant cake this Italian Cream Cake is - just the kind I like! Thanks for visiting and following my blog and I'm here following you (#8) and I'm so glad I found we've found each other's blog. I'm going to enjoy seeing what recipes you'll be posting - and I know the joys of embracing my inner Paula Deen, ha! ha! ha! I just love her.

  2. Mmmmmmm I am going to have to make Hubs this cake. I am off sugar and most carbs for awhile so none for me.

    I am following you (a day late) from Friday Follow Over 40. I would appreciate it if you could stop by and return the favor.

    I am giving a Halloween Apron away to one of my followers 10/5

  3. Hello, first time visitor. Came by via Java and the 40+ blog hop. How yummy to be greeted by a recipe for Italian Cream Cake. I also peeked down and saw your photo of ratatouille (most likely I misspelled it). Ah, inspiration for what to make tonight. Thanks. I'm looking forward to exploring your blog further.
    Su-sieee! Mac
