I
love making cake. Love it. It’s such a fun process. Baking the
cake, making the filling and frosting or ganache or glaze or whatever
you want
f
you like tiramisu, you will love this cake. Tiramisu is an Italian
dessert that layers ladyfingers with a mascarpone filling and it is
usually served in pan and cut into squares. This is an elegant cake
version of this beloved dessert
I
am planning for my son’s birthday party and instead of having
this
time a Tiramisu cake. it
was invented in Treviso at some point in the 1960s, although others
suggest its may have originated in Siena, or been inspired by another
Italian dessert,zuppa
inglese.
Regardless of what you believe, one fact – and my favourite –
remains indisputable
This
recipe isn’t entirely faithful to a traditional tiramisu cake recipe.
Don’t
be put off by all the stages listed below – this cake is actually
incredibly easy to make. If you can bake a basic sponge, whip some
cream and toast some nuts, you’re 99% of the way there.
1
(18 1/4 ounce) package white cake mix
3 egg whites (or as called for by your cake mix)
1/3 cup oil (or as called for by your cake mix)
1 1/3 cups water (or as called for by your cake mix)
2 teaspoons instant coffee powder
1/2 cup coffee
3 tablespoons Kahlua
2 Tablespoons instant espresso powder
2 Tablespoons boiling water
3 egg whites (or as called for by your cake mix)
1/3 cup oil (or as called for by your cake mix)
1 1/3 cups water (or as called for by your cake mix)
2 teaspoons instant coffee powder
1/2 cup coffee
3 tablespoons Kahlua
2 Tablespoons instant espresso powder
2 Tablespoons boiling water
For
the espresso syrup:
1/2
cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon Kahlua
1/3 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon Kahlua
FROSTING
2 cups heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons Kahlua
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate
Whisk
the egg yolks and ½ cup caster sugar together until pale and
thick.
Over
simmering water in a double boiler slowly add ½ cup Marsala to
the yolk/sugar mixture. Keep on stirring until it thickens like
custard (this takes about 7-8 minutes). Set aside to cool and whisk
it occasionally as it cools so it is thick and creamy. I have some
cold water ready in the sink so I can dip the bowl in it and stop the
cooking quickly once the zabaglione is ready.
Meanwhile, in large
bowl, beat mascarpone cheese, 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 2
tablespoons cognac and the vanilla with electric mixer on medium
speed until smooth.
In
small bowl, beat whipping cream with electric mixer on high speed
until stiff peaks form.
Gently
fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture until combined.
Place
1 cake layer on plate; moisten generously with coffee syrup, then
spread with about 1 cup of the filling.
Repeat
with remaining 3 cake layers.
Spread
remaining filling over top and side of cake.
