How To Cook This Layered Cake

Let’s begin with the ingredients. For this tiramisu cake we’ll need eggs, sugar, salt, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, butter, corn starch, cacao, mascarpone, whipping cream, icing sugar, Irish cream liquor and mixed coffee.

The list of all ingredients and the required amounts are listed at the end of the page. To make it easier to visualize I took a picture of the ingredients required bellow.

I also recommend that you prepare the recipe this way as well. If you have everything you need right by your hand then the whole process will go much faster and smoother. Let’s dive into it!

Before we begin, I recommend that you preheat the oven to 350F and place a sheet of parchment paper on a baking sheet so that you have everything ready and you don’t lose time later on.

Separate Egg Whites and Yolks

This step is fairly simple. Take two bowls and have the first one for the egg whites and the second one for the yolks.

Whip Them

Use a whisk and whip the egg whites until they are foamy. Beat up the egg yolks until they turn white. This is important.

Add Sugar, Vanilla & Corn Starch

Mix in half of the sugar (35g) into the egg whites. Don’t forget to add salt. Mix thoroughly.

Take the second half of the sugar and mix it into egg yolks. Add vanilla extract and mix it again. Then add corn starch. Mix it very well with a wooden spoon.

Take the egg yolk mixture and slowly pour in vegetable oil and melted butter while mixing everything simultaneously.

Mix Egg Whites With Egg Yolks

Place 1/3 of the egg whites at a time into the egg yolks and mix it in thoroughly with a spoon. Do this two more times.

Preparing The Tiramisu Layers

Take a baking sheet. Line it with parchment paper and pour the dough mixture onto it.

Bake the cake for 10-15 minutes until light brown and ready. Cool it down on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes. Once cooled, slice it horizontally in half to make two thin layers of cake.

Prepare The Cream

It’s fairly simple. Take a bowl and dump all of the ingredients into it. Mix everything as quick as possible, otherwise the mascarpone may break apart!

Assemble The Tiramisu Layered Cake

Start of with preparing the instant coffee mixture if you haven’t done yet so. Mix 150ml of water with 2 teaspoons of instant coffee.

Now soak each layer with this coffee mixture. It will add some nice coffee taste to it and will make the cake nice and damp (but don’t make it too wet!).

Spread half of the prepared cream on top of each layer.

Sprinkle cacao on top of each layer.

You can decorate the Tiramisu layered cake with raspberries or other fruits if you like to do so.
