Como fazer Chocolate Italian Cream Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, separate 6 large eggs, placing egg whites in a clean, dry bowl.
- Beat egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, and ½ cup vegetable shortening until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 3 cups granulated sugar, beating well after each addition.
- Add egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 2 teaspoons baking soda.

- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup shredded coconut, and 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Gently fold in the whipped egg whites until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
