    This cake looks so good! Can you make it with coconut or almond flour?

      Not for sure Wendy. You can mix it like a regular cake so if you have used these in a cake before they might work. The thing to remember though when you start changing the ingredients in anything the texture and the taste will probably not be quite the same.

      You don’t need the ingredients at room temperature although it will make the butter or margarine mix easier if you have them at room temp. You could use vegetable shortening. It might change the flavor ever so slightly but with the vanilla, pecans, coconut etc. it will probably be ok. Just make sure it is solid shortening though.

      A stick of butter is equal to 1/4 lb. or 1/2 cup. Shortening is solid lard, fat or solid vegetable oil. It is like Copha in Australia.

    I love Italian Creme Cake. I had it in Italy a few times when we were stationed in Germany. Delicious. Some gas stations have Italian Creme Cake flavored cappuccino and it is delicious.
