🍰 Tiramisu Layer Cake – A Heavenly Fusion of Cake and Tiramisu! 🍰
📋 Ingredients:
- For the Cake:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- For the Tiramisu Filling:
- 1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
- 24 ladyfingers
- For the Garnish:
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
- Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
🥣 Directions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy, then add eggs and vanilla. Gradually add the dry ingredients and milk, mixing until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
2️⃣ Prepare the Tiramisu Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together mascarpone, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and thick.
3️⃣ Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are cooled, slice each one in half horizontally to create four layers. Brush each cake layer with the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using).
