Italian Cream Cake

1 - stick Margarine
1/2 Crisco
2 C. Sugar
1 t. Vanilla
5 - egg yokes (save whites for later.)

Dry Ingredients

2 c. Flour

Sounds pretty easy... :shock:

oh... ok. Thought marg & crisco was it... :-D

1 t. soda
1 t. salt

Wet Ingredients

1 c. buttermilk
1/2 c Marchino cherry juice

Cream the first set of ingredients and then add dry and wet alternately

Then add 2 c. sweetened coconut grated

Then beat egg whites and fold into cake mixture.

Pour into prepared cake pans. I use 2 large spring form pans. Bake 350 Degrees for 40 minutes or until tooth pick comes out clean.
I frost with standard Cream Cheese frosting and roast pecans in skillet and top each layer with pecans as I ice.

This has always been a killer cake recipe for special times.

I don't know how I got it split up that way.
