Italian Lemon Cream Cake Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Italian Recipes. (Italian Lemon Cream Cake Recipe). I enjoyed a lemon cream cake at a popular Italian restaurant so much that I wanted to recreate it at home. It is a white cake topped with vanilla crumbs and filled with rich lemon cream. After a few attempts, this is the version that I like best. It uses a white cake mix to cut preparation time. Store cake in the refrigerator.
