Tips:

  • Use a boxed yellow or white cake mix for the base of the cake. This will save you time and effort, and the results will be just as delicious.
  • For a richer flavor, use butter instead of oil in the cake mix.
  • Add a ¼ cup of sour cream or yogurt to the cake mix for a moist and tender crumb.
  • Don't overmix the cake batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake according to the instructions on the box, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, make the Italian cream frosting. To make the frosting, you will need: 1 cup of sugar, ½ cup of milk, ½ cup of butter, 1/3 cup of chopped nuts, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • Bring the sugar and milk to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened and reached a soft ball stage (235°F).
  • Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, add the butter and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
  • Once the cake has cooled completely, frost it with the Italian cream frosting. You can also garnish the cake with additional chopped nuts or sprinkles.
