Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 500 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 400 milliliters Heavy cream
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 250 milliliters Espresso or strong coffee
- 2 tablespoons Coffee liqueur (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line the bottoms of two 8-inch (20 cm) round cake pans with parchment paper.
Separate the egg whites and yolks. Whisk the yolks with 150 grams of granulated sugar until pale and creamy.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 50 grams of sugar while beating.
Gently fold the yolks into the beaten egg whites. Sift the all-purpose flour over the mixture and carefully fold it in until just combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula and bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely.
For the cream filling, whisk the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then fold it into the mascarpone mixture.
Prepare the coffee soak by combining the espresso (or strong coffee) and coffee liqueur in a shallow dish. Let it cool to room temperature.
Once the cakes are cool, trim the tops if they are domed to create flat layers. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand.
Brush the first layer generously with the coffee mixture. Spread a thick layer of the mascarpone cream over the top.
Place the second cake layer on top and brush it with more coffee mixture. Spread the remaining mascarpone cream over the top and sides of the cake, smoothing it out evenly.
Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine sieve.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the flavors meld and the cake set.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Tiramisu Cake!
