Italian Coconut Crème Cake #TheCakeSliceBakers


I’m back baking with The Cake Slice Bakers after a brief summer break! I can’t remember the last time I took this much time off?! I may skip a month every now and then, but rarely three months in a row! This summer was a bit overwhelming for me, I just didn’t seem to fit baking with the group, before I knew it I had ran out of time, or had a unexpected invite to attend to. Then there was vacation and a weekend getaway! 


With fall approaching, I hope to slow down and take time to do what I love to do the best, BAKE! I know for sure my husband missed the cakes, and keeping him in mind I chose a cake he would love! This month cake choice is Italian Crème Cake. 


This choice made me love this cookbook even more! This cake turned out delicious! I did my best to stick to the original recipe, but when it came to the frosting ingredients I swapped the sugar for powdered sugar, and left the cream of coconut fat out, only because the cream of coconut did not 




solidify, and I was not able to remove the fat from the liquid. I did although add a few tablespoons of the cream to the frosting. 


Everything seemed to have worked out because the cake was HEAVENLY! Everyone seemed to have enjoyed it, especially my husband! This recipe is a must to try. Go grab a copy of this book and make this cake, you won’t regret it! 






    Each month The Cake Slice Bakers are offered a selection of cakes from the current book we are baking through. This year it is The European Cake Cookbook by Tatyana Nesteruk. We each choose one cake to bake, and then on the 20th - never before - we all post about our cake on our blogs. There are a few rules that we follow, but the most important ones are to have fun and enjoy baking & eating cakes! Follow our Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest pages where you can find all of our cakes, as well as inspiration for many other cakes. You can also click on the thumbnail pictures below to take you to each of our cakes. If you have a blog and are interested in joining The Cake Slice Bakers and baking along with us, please send an email to thecakeslicebakers at gmail dot com for more details. The Cake Slice Bakers also have a new Facebook group called The Cake Slice Bakers and Friends. This group is perfect for those who do not have a blog but want to join in the fun and bake through this book.
