I chanced upon someone’s tiramisu cake and it sure looks delicious and tempting! I clicked on the YouTube video and I decided to challenge myself and bake it!
Recipe with Pictures
Makes one 6″ three layered cake
Ingredient list:
For the Coffee Liquor Syrup (A):
- 40ml of coffee (freshly brewed preferred then set to cool)
- 20ml of rum
- ½ tsp of vanilla essence
- 1 tsp of caster sugar
For the Tiramisu Cream (B):
- 200g of Mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
- 70g of caster sugar
- 300g of whipping cream, still chilled
- 15ml of rum
- 1 tsp of vanilla essence
Steps (A):
1. Prepare 40ml of freshly brewed coffee and stir in rum, vanilla essence and sugar. Set aside to cool.
Steps (B):
1. Measure the required amount of Mascarpone cheese in a bowl and add sugar. Beat until smooth.
2. Pour in whipping cream, rum and vanilla essence and whip till stiff peaks. (Be careful not to overwhip the mixture if not, it will turn grainy, watery and would be very difficult to spread).
3. Refrigerate it in the fridge for about 30-40 minutes.
Time to Assemble the Cake!
1. Spray the coffee liquor syrup on the first layer of the cake.
2. Spread the tiramisu cream over it.
3. Lay the second layer on top of it and repeat Steps 1 and 2. Do this for the last layer of cake as well.
4. Chill it in the fridge for about 5-10 minutes first then apply the rest of the tiramisu cream on top and along the sides of the cake.
5. Dust some cocca powder and decorate it to your liking!

Comments:
I am quite pleased with this cake except for the part where I over-whipped the tiramisu cream! =( Though the taste of the cake is not really as affected by the texture, the appearance of the cake is really ugly. I hope to make a prettier one the next time! Otherwise, my family commented that it indeed tastes like tiramisu. Haha.
