TIRAMISU CAKE

Tiramisu is probably one of the most well known Italian cakes. It is typically made with lady fingers soaked in coffee and rum, then layered with cream. I personally don’t like the taste or texture of lady fingers so I bake the cake myself. Tiramisu cake may sound like an intimidating cake to make, but this recipe is actually quite simple. The coffee and cream between each layer makes the cake so rich and moist.

Blow your guests away with this delicious and elegant cake at your next dinner party. I have tested this recipe multiple times and came to realize that certain brands of egg product don’t thicken as much as others do. So far, the best brand for this recipe is Lucerne.  Also, different brands of mascarpone cheese can have different consistencies as well. If you end up buying a brand that has a runnier consistency, make sure to refrigerate the cream for at least 40 minutes before combining it with the egg product.
