Growing up, my Memaw ALWAYS made a German chocolate cake for my birthday. It has ALWAYS been what I love to eat.
UNTIL, my Aunt Debbie made an Italian Cream cake for me the day after I gave birth to my first child.
I remember the pang of guilt that shot through me, when I considered that “this could be my new favorite birthday cake.”
Ok, move over just a tad, German chocolate cake. Italian Cream cake is NOW my number 1a favorite dessert to eat. This is Aunt Debbie’s recipe. I have never made it myself, but I’ve happily eaten it for the last eight years.
