It is so good?  Its amazing with the calories to prove it! 

It stuck with the simple name "Chocolate Italian Cream Cake".   

Much chopped nuts, coconut, almost as much sugar as flour, rich with butter and cheese cream chocolate frosting - its pure decadance.

HERE is a recipe with nutritional info listed on the bottom right, including that a 1/10 cake slice at 1034 calories.

well it does not have any nuts or coconut so it must not be the same one,  but thanks for your help, really it just looks like a big cow patty thats the only way to describe it,  if i go to the cafe today i will try and figure out the name...
omg woah. 1000 calories for ONE TENTH of a cake, no wonder obesity is so common.
Sounds like profiterole... puff pastry filled with whipped cream or chantilly cream covered in chocolate sauce.
Then forget I ever mentioned chocolate italian cream cake (or plain old italian creme cake for that matter).

I cant since I know what the sin of its taste, but erase the term from your mind and save yourself. 

Hopefully this item wont come in as hars with the  calories.
