Steps:

• Cream together butter, shortening and cream cheese with sugar until very light.
• Add salt, lemon and vanilla extracts, and eggs. Scrape bowl and beat again.
• With mixer on low, stir in sour cream, buttermilk, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
• Add dry ingredients. When they have been moistened, increase mixer speed and beat for about 20 seconds.
• Have ready, a greased and floured tube pan, add batter.
• Smooth top of cake. Place sauce in three dollops. Swirl into the batter in each spot, reaching into the cake, incorporate until it desolves from the top, but does not become homogenous.
• Place cake to bake on the middle layer of a 300 degree preheated oven for about 1 1/2 hours. The cake will still be soft on top when it is completed. Check for doneness, remembering to distinguish between batter, and filling, as it goes.
• Cake can be unfolded soon after it has baked. It is a good idea to cool on parchment because the top is soft.
• This cake can be kept, well wrapped, for several days, before it is eaten. Eat at room temperature.

ICED ITALIAN CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and lightly flour three 9-inch cake pans.

• Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 25 minutes. Test for doneness by touching the top of the cake with your finger. The cake is done if it bounces back up. Cool the layers on wire racks sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
• For the frosting: With an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese with the butter on high speed until fluffy. Reduce the speed to medium and blend in the sugar and vanilla. Beat well until the frosting is smooth.

Bake for 70 to 80 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Turn the cake over on a cake platter. Spread the lemon glaze over the warm cake so that the glaze can soak into the cake. Let the cake cool completely and drizzle the lemon cream cheese frosting over the cake.
