Instructions
- Warm the oven up to 175°F (350°F). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans, and then put parchment paper on the bottoms to make them easy to take out.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium-sized bowl. Put away.
- Put the softened butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl and mix them together until they are light and fluffy.
- One at a time, add the eggs and beat well after each one. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients one at a time, mixing in the milk between each addition.
- Start with the flour mixture and end with the milk. Mix until everything is just combined. Be careful not to mix too much.
- Spread the batter out evenly in the cake pans that have been prepared. Use a spatula to smooth the tops of the cakes.
- After the oven is hot, bake the cakes for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool for 10 minutes in the pans before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way through.
- In a small bowl, mix the cooled brewed coffee and coffee liqueur to make the coffee soaking syrup while the cakes cool. Put away.
- Melt the mascarpone cheese and mix it with powdered sugar and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Beat the mixture until it is smooth and creamy.
- Whip the cold heavy cream in a different bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Mix the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture slowly until it’s all mixed in. Be careful not to let the whipped cream get too low.
- If you need to, use a serrated knife to level the tops of the cakes after they have cooled completely.
- Put one layer of the sponge cake on a cake stand or serving platter. To make the cake soak in the syrup, brush half of it over the top and let it soak in.
- Spread half of the mascarpone filling over the cake layer that has been soaked.
- Add the second layer of sponge cake on top, and then brush the rest of the coffee syrup over the top.
- Use a spatula to spread the rest of the mascarpone filling over the top of the cake.
- Put the Tiramisu Cake in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or better yet, overnight, so the flavours can mix and the cake can set.
- Before you serve the cake, sprinkle unsweetened cocoa powder over the top and, if you want, add chocolate curls or shavings on top.
- For the ultimate treat, cut the Tiramisu Cake into slices and serve them cold.
