I tasted this cake at a church gathering- so delicious- and so was looking for the recipe and viola I came across yours - thanks for sharing- I too am from Perth WA

[@familythingsmore5751]

Hope you enjoy the cake 🎂💕

[@stevemurd]

Such a great video. My mouth is watering. Very good instructions, thank you.

[@familythingsmore5751]

It is my pleasure, I grew up eating this cake for every birthday we celebrated and it did not disappoint ❤️

[@aliannaperez5285]

Looks delicious!

[@familythingsmore5751]

It's so good and a crowd pleaser

[@LisaLisa-zl9vu]

Would this freeze well? I may try to halve the recipe as this would be too much for just myself and my son. I have perfect sized pan for the small quantity too! I'm craving Italian cake !!!

[@familythingsmore5751]

I’ve never tried to freeze it, however you can cut the recipe or bake the cake in smaller pans and freeze the extra cake without the custard.

When my aunt come on vacation to America in the 1980 she showed me how to make this cake.

[@familythingsmore5751]

What a great memory, thank you for sharing 💕

Hi new subscriber I am from Perth Western Australia .Thank you for sharing your video and adding your recipes on the description I noticed in one of the comments you said it was a 10in pan. Thank you for that also. Can you please tell what flour do you use, here in Australia we have selfrasing or plain flour. Thank you once again, Can't wait to try it out. Stay safe 🙂

[@familythingsmore5751]

Hi and welcome! I use regular white flour and I believe I used a 10 in pan. Your welcome💕 stay safe

[@luluzulu3538]

I made this and the custard didn't taste good. Is it right to use flour in the custard instead of corn flour, as I have always done before

[@familythingsmore5751]

Yes, we always use regular flour, sorry to hear you didn’t like it

[@joanne26]

Hiya from England i'm going to try this but not right now as were in a heatwave its been around 90 degrees for the 10 days. I have come across a great recipe for proper confectioners custard but my take is instead of the milk i use Mascarpone. its really creamy

[@familythingsmore5751]

That sounds great😀 I will have to give it a try

[@clientclient6262]

Beautiful. Could you show a written form of the ingredients. In UK we don't use cups so will have to convert. Can't wait to try!

Why do you add the oil in after the flour?

[@familythingsmore5751]

Thanks for your question , it’s just the way I have been taught to make it.

[@MarysKitchenMtl]

Wonderful! Thank you! 🥰

[@charlenedimonte]

What kind of oil do you use? We don’t eat seed oils here, can I use olive oil or avocado oil? 🙋🏼‍♀️🇨🇦

[@familythingsmore5751]

Vegetable oil

[@charlenedimonte]

I did go ahead and use olive oil, cake turned out fantastic! Fluffy tasty full of flavour! Will definitely make this again. 👌🏼
