With only 7 ingredients, without raw eggs and alcohol, this is an effortless and delectable Tiramisu cake that you can make ahead and come together in about 10 minutes.
INGREDIENTS
- 22 -24 ladyfingers biscuits (Italian Savoiardi)
- ⅓ cup and 1 tablespoon (85 g) of Turbinado Sugar, also known as raw cane sugar (Turbinado sugar has a delicate caramel flavor and fits this dessert perfectly).
- 1 cup and 2 tablespoons (250 g) of mascarpone cheese (cold)
- 1 and ¼ cup (300 ml) of Heavy whipping cream (chilled)
- 1 cup and ¼ cup (300 ml) of strong coffee (cold)
- 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract (alcohol-free)
- Unsweetened Cocoa powder for dusting
DIRECTIONS
- Before you start, make the coffee, so it has time to cool down before using it.
- After making this cake, we suggest placing the rim of an 8 inches (20 cm) springform pan (not the base) on a larger serving plate,
- The final presentation is prettier than using the springform pan base to serve the cake.
- In a medium bowl, beat the mascarpone with 3 tablespoons of the heavy whipping cream until smooth and set aside.
- Whip the cream with the vanilla extract and turbinado sugar till soft peaks.
- Add mascarpone cream and combine while continuing whisking.
- Grease the rim of the cake pan, then press the parchment paper around the sides, or you can skip this step and use a knife to loosen the chilled cake from the rim later. Place the rim on a round plate.
- Quickly dip the ladyfingers into the cold/room temperature coffee. Create a firm (no space) layer with the dipped ladyfingers inside the cake ring; you will need to cut some biscuits to fit the springform pan.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the bottom layer of ladyfingers. An offset spatula helps spread it evenly.
- Repeat the process for the second layer (dipped ladyfinger and the remaining mascarpone cream) and try to get a solid layer. Flat the cream nicely on top with an offset spatula. Move into the fridge for 3 hours or overnight.
- Move into the fridge for at least 3 hours (uncovered). Dust with unsweetened cocoa powder and enjoy.
- If you serve the day after, cover it with plastic wrap, move it into the refrigerator, and dust it with cocoa powder just before serving.
