Fresh Orange Italian Cream Cake - Southern Living
***For years, my Mom has always made one of the most amazing Italian Cream Cakes...It is spectacular! It's filled with pecans and flaked coconut, and the cake itself is moist and delicious...with cream cheese icing to finish it all off. It's always been one of my favorites. So, you can imagine my delight when my sister-in-law, Christine, surprised me with this Fresh Orange Italian Cream Cake for my birthday. This recipe from Southern Living takes everything you love about traditional Italian Cream Cake and kicks it up about 100 notches! In fact, Southern Living describes it as one of their "most showstopping cakes ever"...take a look HERE!
The Fresh Orange Curd is the star of the show. It is spread in between each of the cake layers and adds the most amazing flavor...It's sweet, but not too sweet. The orange juice and orange rind adds the perfect hint of freshness, which will make it hard to resist a second piece. The contrast of the fresh tartness of the oranges with the sweetness of the cake is a combination that is sheer perfection here.
