For added texture, you can mix toasted pecans directly into the frosting or use them as a topping for decoration.
Assembling the Cake
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread an even layer of frosting on top. Repeat with the remaining layers, then frost the top and sides of the cake. Finish with a generous sprinkle of toasted pecans or coconut for a classic Italian Cream Cake look.
Tips for the Best Results

Toast the pecans before using them to enhance their flavor
-
Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest frosting
