I searched and searched for a really good Italian cream cake recipe and finally found this one on the Pioneer Woman's website. This cake is absolutely divine. I lay no claim to creating the recipe but it is so amazing I wanted to include it in my collection here at Recipezaar. The Pioneer Woman can be found at http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking.
