Step by step
Step 1
Prepare the sponge cake at least 6-7 hours in advance or the day before. Follow your preferred recipe or use one provided.
Adding 1 tbsp of cocoa to the flour is optional but gives the cake a richer color.
After cooling for 4-5 hours, slice the cake into two even layers.
Step 3
Brew the coffee and sweeten it with 3 tbsp of sugar. Let it cool.
For added flavor, mix in a splash of Irish Cream liqueur or cappuccino.
Step 4
Make the mascarpone cream:
- Beat cold mascarpone with 0.5 cup powdered sugar for 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually add cold vanilla cream, mixing well until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Start assembling the cake:
- Place the first layer of sponge cake on a plate.
- Use baking paper pieces around the edges to keep the plate clean during decoration.
Step 6
Saturate the first cake layer with half the coffee mixture.
Adjust the syrup quantity to your taste, as sponge cake is naturally tender.
Step 7
Spread half of the mascarpone cream evenly over the first layer.
Step 8
Add the second cake layer, syrup it, and spread the remaining mascarpone cream on top and around the sides.
Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 5-6 hours or overnight for best results.
Step 9
After chilling, smooth the cake with a knife as the cream will have set, making it easier to work with.
Step 10
Prepare the whipped cream for decoration:
- Beat chilled heavy cream with 1 cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, my recipe is here.
Step 11
Use the whipped cream to coat the sides of the cake and smooth them with a knife.
Step 12
Optionally, add a thick layer of whipped cream on top and level it smoothly.
Step 13
Dust the top with cocoa powder using a small sieve.
This finishing touch is essential for the Tiramisu flavor.
Step 14
Remove the baking paper from the edges for a clean presentation.
Refrigerate or serve immediately. If a firmer cream is desired, incorporate dissolved gelatin into the mascarpone mixture.
Enjoy your homemade Tiramisu Cake, soft, flavorful, and irresistible!
