Coffee lovers rejoice! Today is all about Tiramisu. Which, literally means “cheer me up.” It is timeless, elegant, and over-the-top delicious. This Italian dessert is worth all the hype.

There’s nothing quite like Tiramisu. Those airy layers of coffee-infused cake. That perfectly sweetened cream. The rich mascarpone. The subtle taste of chocolate from the garnishing. Oh my gosh. Excuse me while I wipe away the drool.

I’ve had plenty of delicious tiramisu samples before. Then, I tried making it at home and never ever looked back.

The key? Use quality ingredients. It makes all the difference.

The coffee. If you don’t have a barista set up at home, you can pick up an espresso from your local coffee shop. Personally, I like combining espresso with coffee liqueur.

Mascarpone cheese. Don’t try to use a mock mascarpone here. Authentic mascarpone cheese has a mildly nutty flavor with a buttery consistency.

Cake. Traditionally, tiramisu is made with ladyfingers. But this is a recipe for tiramisu cake. The batter incorporates regular flour and potato flour, 5 eggs (separated), sugar, and vanilla.

You’ll never believe this cake came out of your own kitchen. It is that good. This tiramisu cake is romantic, beautiful, and so satisfying. You can serve it right away or chill overnight for an even more flavorful cake. Get ready to indulge!

Black Caviar Appetizer with Cream Cheese and Dill
Torben Andersen (Denmark)
January 4, 2022

The cake and the cream tasted good but the cake shrank dramatically when I took it out of the oven and the result was therefore not good. I tried three times with different beat techniques but each time the same result. Maybe I did something wrong but some advice would have been nice in this respect. The final result was usable but far too compact. Too bad, so close!
