ITALIAN WEDDING CAKE
This cake is moist and very dense and the longer it is refridgerated the better it becomes. Everytime I we have a potluck this is what I am requested to make. If you don't want to make the cream cheese frosting from scratch you can use canned, I prefer Betty Crocker, but taking the extra time to make your own is well worth it....
