ITALIAN CREME BUNDT CAKE
- 2 c all purpose flour
- 2 c sugar
- 1 stick butter
- 1/2 c shredded coconuts
- 1 c finely chopped walnuts
- 5 egg whites [beat for stiff peaks]
- 5 egg yolks
- 1 c buttermilk
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla

- 1 Tbsp baking powder [optional]
CAKE ICING
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1/2 c whipping cream
- 1/2 c chopped nuts
- 4 c powdered sugar
- 1/2 c coconut, shredded
How to Make It
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream butter with sugar and add vanilla.
- Separate the eggs. Beat the whites until soft peaks form - and set aside. Cream the egg yolks, butter and sugar. Set them aside.
- In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients: Sifted flour, baking powder and the baking soda. [it doesnt call for baking powder but I like my cakes to stand high]
- Add the dry ingredients to the mixture a little at a time alternating with the buttermilk (about 1/4 cup at a time).
- Next mix in walnuts and coconut.
- With a spatula gently fold in your egg whites into the batter by making the figure 8 pattern.
- Spoon the batter into your greased bundt pan making it as even as you can.
- Bake for about 60 minutes until the cake seems firm
Let it cool for 20 minutes.
For the Icing:
- With a hand blender cream the cream cheese with the 1/2 cups of whipping cream. Add powder sugar. Blend. Pour generous amount on cake. Sprinkle Coconuts and top off with chopped walnuts. Again drizzle [I like that word] more icing on top on nuts and cocunuts.
- Refrigerate the cake until you are going to slice and serve!
