Italian Cream Cake

"The combination of coconut and pecan flavors in this tender cake topped with cream cheese frosting is absolutely fantastic! Add toasted pecans and coconut on top to make this Italian Cream Cake irresistible! Despite the name, an Italian Cream Cake does not actually have Italian origins. You can stand in an Italian bakery all day long, and you won’t find any Italian Cream Cakes. Instead, it seems that this dessert originated in the American South. Even though this cake isn’t even remotely Italian, it’s still mighty delicious! It features a flavorful butter cake base filled with coconut and pecans. After being frosted with a simple cream cheese frosting, the top is garnished with more toasted coconut and pecans. A slice of this cake is heaven on a plate!"
