Tiramisu Cake

A coffee-flavored tiramisu made in a round mold — layers of coffee-dipped ladyfingers and creamy mascarpone filling, chilled until set.

Tiramisu cake — simply irresistible!

Ingredients

Start here, then move straight into the method.

  • 2/3 cup (165 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1 large can (397 g) sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tubs (about 500 g) mascarpone cheese
  • 4 tbsp instant coffee (Nescafé Gold or similar)
  • 2 cups (500 ml) boiling water
  • 1 package (about 250 g) ladyfinger biscuits
  • 1½ tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Method

Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.

  1. Whip the cream for 5 to 6 minutes or until it thickens.
    Timers: 6 min
  2. Add the sweetened condensed milk to the whipped cream, along with the mascarpone cheese, and mix.
  3. In a bowl, dissolve the instant coffee (Nescafé Gold) in hot water.
  4. Moisten the biscuits with the dissolved coffee—dip them and lift quickly so they don't absorb too much liquid—arrange pieces of biscuit in a circular pattern around the edges of the 22 cm cake pan, placing them side by side.
  5. Also arrange a layer of biscuits in the bottom of the pan.
  6. Divide the cream mixture you prepared into two parts, and spread the first half over the biscuit layer.
  7. Add another layer of coffee‑moistened biscuits and top it with the second half of the cream.
  8. Sift bitter cocoa powder over the top.
  9. Chill the tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours until it sets well and is cold, then serve.
    Timers: 360 min
