I hope someone can help me find this recipe. I went to Sams Club the other day and they had an " Italian Cream Cake". I was wondering what it is made of. It was so pretty. It had white frosting, looked like a three layer, but i could'nt get close enough to see the ingredients and nobody was around to ask. So if anyone knows about this cake, please let me know. Thanks...jana
