Italian Creme Cake - Gluten Free!! image

I got this off a website but modified it because I don't like to use shortening in my cooking. However shortening could be substituted for the Butter if needed....It turned out delicious! Hope you can enjoy it as much as I did!

This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too runny.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the texture was great.
