Mango Passion fruit Italian Cream Cake with Kiwi Buttercream. A tropical version of the Italian Cream Cake from Irvin Lin‘s Cookbook, “Marbled, Swirled and Layered“. It is gorgeous, delicious and well worth the effort. Everything in Irvin’s book looks incredible. It was hard to choose what to make first.
Irvin is celebrating the 1st anniversary of his gorgeous baking book : Marbled, Swirled and Layered, and to celebrate I made this cake of his in his book’s honor. Irvin sent me a copy a few months ago and when I was flipping through it I landed on the recipe for Meyer Lemon Italian Cream Cake with Lemon Custard and Strawberry Buttercream. I was intrigued and even moreso when I saw his alternative recipe to it with using mango, passion fruit and kiwi. That had my name all over it. Fancy layer cake with tropical flavors? Yes please. Irvin’s blog, Eat The Love, is one of my favorite baking blogs. His recipes are incredible, fabulous photos and he is an amazing writer. He also has the funniest April Fool’s recipe on his blog – How to Boil Water. He has a fabulous sense of humor.
