Italian Cream Christmas Cake image

I clipped this recipe from the Times Picayunne newspaper in New Orleans which got it from Joy Hirdes and Gustavo Gonzalez who have a blog called foodieforone.com and I want to save it here because the clipping is getting yellowed and worn. It looks too good to lose.
