Tiramisu sponge cake recipe

Yields10 ServingsPrep Time40 minsCook Time35 minsTotal Time1 hr 15 mins

A revisited tiramisu or perhaps it's the sponge cake? You take mascarpone cream, soak the cake in coffee with Marsala, and you have a treat to delight a good ten people!

For the cake
 225 Soft unsalted butter
 225 Flour
 225 Powdered sugar
 1 Baking powder
 4 Eggs
For the cream
 500 Mascarpone
 5 Powdered sugar
 1 Vanilla sugar
 5 Eggs
For soaking
 1 cup Coffee
For plating
 Cocoa powder
 Chocolate shavings
Directions
1

Preheat the oven to 180°c. Lightly grease a 20 cm round springform pan with high sides.

2

In a mixing bowl, mix the butter and powdered sugar until you get a smooth mixture. Gradually add the eggs, then incorporate the flour and baking powder.

3

Pour into the mold and bake for 35 minutes (extend the baking time a bit if the center is still wobbly). Let it cool and then unmold onto a rack.

4

Prepare the cup of coffee and add the Marsala. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. In a mixing bowl, whisk the yolks with the vanilla sugar, add the mascarpone, and continue to whisk to aerate the mixture.

5

Beat the egg whites until stiff, gradually adding the spoonfuls of powdered sugar. Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture using a spoon.

6

Slice the cake into three layers. Soak each layer with coffee. Place the first layer on the serving plate, spread with mascarpone cream, place the second layer, spread again, add the third layer, and finish spreading the cream on top.

7

To finish, refrigerate for 6 hours (it can be prepared the day before). Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and sprinkle with chocolate shavings (made with 2 squares of chocolate and a vegetable peeler).
