ITALIAN CREAM-FILLED CAKE
This Italian cream dessert is very simple but fancy enough to serve as a birthday cake. It's low on sugar and big on flavor. You can swap the lemon zest for orange or lime to change things up. You can also add a layer of jam on top of the first layer of dough-raspberry jam, marmalade jam or even Nutella work well. -Maria Morelli, West Kelowna, British Columbia
