tiramasu cake

Uncategorized

i thought it would be fun to create this tiramasu cake,
i made a swiss roll sponge and cut it into three then i used two pieces for the bottom layer and one for the top. i made a coffee chocolate syrup and drizzled it on then added some mascapone frosting and rolled it up like a roulade and turned it on its side.
i then added some lady fingers around the outside.

recipe
 
sponge
 
4 eggs
100g sugar
100g self raising flour
 
 
frosting
 
250g tub of mascapone
450g icing sugar
70ml double cream
 
shop bought lady finger biscuits
 
to make the sponge
preheat the oven to 200c fan
add the eggs and sugar in a bowl and whisk until it is thick and creamy (about 4 minutes),
 then sift in the flour and mix,
line a large Swiss roll tin with baking paper and add the mixture and gently spread out
bake for 10 minutes or until it springs back when you touch it
turn out on to a damp tea towel and gently peel off paper, roll up into a roulade shape and leave to cool down.
 
make mascapone cream
whip cream until stiff then add the mascapone and mix, sift the icing sugar in and mix until smooth.
take sponge unroll it and remove the tea towel, roll back up and slice into 3 pieces (measure against a lady finger biscuit to see how wide each piece should be)
unroll each piece and drizzle coffee chocolate syrup
 
to make that coffee cocoa syrup 
 
 7 tbsp of boiling water
7 tbsp sugar
1 tsp instant coffee granules
2 tsp cocoa
 
in a dish mix all the ingredients  with a spoon until the sugar, coffee and cocoa have dissolved,
drizzle a little over each sponge and add the mascapone cream and roll up two into tight scrolls, then take the other piece and wrap it around one of the scrolls joining up to the end of the first piece, so you have one bigger roll than the other,
place the smaller one on top of the layer one
add the remaining cream around sides of sponge and press on lady fingers, tie with string
add chocolate shavings to the top

  5. This cake just looks….divine. So pretty in fact, in person, I would have difficulty eating it (as I would not want to mess up the way it looks!) I love it, and it caught my eye at the "From Dream to Reality" party–I had to stop by!

    I would love it if you stopped by our Facebook page, and said "hello!"
