Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/4 cup coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for syrup)
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • chocolate shavings or grated chocolate (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry mixture. Mix until just combined.
  6. Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  8. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. In a small bowl, combine the cooled brewed coffee, coffee liqueur (if using), and granulated sugar for the soaking syrup. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  10. In a mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  11. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  12. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated.
  13. Place one cooled cake layer on a serving platter. Brush the top with the coffee soaking syrup.
  14. Spread a layer of the tiramisu filling on top of the soaked cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the soaking syrup and filling process.
  15. Dust the top of the cake with unsweetened cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings or grated chocolate.
  16. Refrigerate the Tiramisu Cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  17. Slice and serve your decadent Tiramisu Cake.
