Original Recipe Yield1 - 3 layer 9 inch cake Ingredients CAKE: 1 (18.25 ounce) package moist white cake mix 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder 1/4 cup coffee 1 tablespoon coffee flavored liqueur FILLING: 1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar 2 tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur FROSTING: 2 cups heavy cream 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar 2 tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur GARNISH: 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 3 (9 inch) pans. 2. Prepare the cake mix according to package directions. Divide two thirds of batter between 2 pans. Stir instant coffee into remaining batter; pour into remaining pan. 3. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. In a measuring cup, combine brewed coffee and 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur; set aside. 4. To make the filling: In a small bowl, using an electric mixer set on low speed, combine mascarpone, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur; beat just until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. 5. To make the frosting: In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium-high speed, beat the cream, 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur until stiff. Fold 1/2 cup of cream mixture into filling mixture. 6. To assemble the cake: Place one plain cake layer on a serving plate. Using a thin skewer, poke holes in cake, about 1 inch apart. Pour one third of reserved coffee mixture over cake, then spread with half of the filling mixture. Top with coffee-flavored cake layer; poke holes in cake. Pour another third of the coffee mixture over the second layer and spread with the remaining filling. Top with remaining cake layer; poke holes in cake. Pour remaining coffee mixture on top. Spread sides and top of cake with frosting. Place cocoa in a sieve and lightly dust top of cake. Garnish with chocolate curls. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving. 7. To make the chocolate curls, use a vegetable peeler and run it down the edge of the chocolate bar. recipe and link to video at: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/tiramisu-layer-cake/detail.aspx -- *Ginny Butterfield Cranberry Twp, PA * [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
