Italian Creme Cake is a decadent dessert that originated in the United States, but the recipe has Italian roots. This version is gluten-free, which makes it a healthier option for people who are gluten intolerant or sensitive. The cake is rich and creamy, with a slightly nutty taste from the coconut flakes. It’s perfect for an afternoon snack, birthday parties, or any special occasion.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven at 350°F. Grease three 9-inch cake pans with cooking spray and flour them lightly.
2.In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, oil, and sugar until the mixture becomes fluffy.
3.Add the egg yolks and vanilla; beat the mixture until combined.

5.Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Mix well.
6.In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Fold egg whites and flaked coconut into the batter.
7.Divide the batter evenly among prepared pans. Smooth the tops and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
8.Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before transferring to a plate.
