Time 2h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (18.25 ounce) package moist white cake mix
1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
¼ cup coffee
1 tablespoon coffee flavored liqueur
1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese
½ cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur
2 cups heavy cream
¼ cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 3 (9 inch) pans.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • To make the chocolate curls, use a vegetable peeler and run it down the edge of the chocolate bar.

Time 2h45m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pans
2 1/4 cups cake flour, plus more for the pans
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup whole milk
Coffee liqueur, for brushing (optional)
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon coffee extract
1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon cold heavy cream
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
3 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons coffee extract
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter the bottoms and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans; line the bottoms with parchment paper. Butter the parchment and dust the bottom and side of each pan with flour, tapping out the excess. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  • Beat the butter in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until creamy, about 1 minute. Add the granulated sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until incorporated, then beat in the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk in two batches, until just incorporated. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  • Divide the batter between the prepared pans and lightly tap each against the counter to remove any air bubbles. Bake until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes in the pans, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely; discard the parchment.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Beat the cream cheese and coffee extract in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. If using a stand mixer, switch to the whisk attachment. Add 1 1/2 cups heavy cream and the confectioners' sugar and beat until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Divide the filling between 2 small bowls (about 1 heaping cup each). Stir together the remaining 1 tablespoon heavy cream and the espresso powder in a small bowl to make a paste; fold into one bowl of filling. Fold the cocoa powder into the other bowl of filling. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Make the frosting: Beat the butter and cream cheese in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the confectioners' sugar, 1 teaspoon coffee extract, the vanilla and salt until just combined. Increase the mixer speed to medium high and beat until fluffy, about 4 more minutes; set aside.
  • Make the ganache: Put the chocolate in a small bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until steaming, then pour over the chocolate. Let sit 5 minutes, then stir until melted and smooth. Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon coffee extract; let sit until cool but still pourable, about 1 hour.
  • Assemble the cake: Using a long serrated knife, carefully slice each cake in half horizontally to make 2 thin layers; brush the cut sides of each cake with coffee liqueur, if desired. Put 1 cake layer cut-side up on a plate and spread with 1 heaping cup frosting. Top with another cake layer and spread the coffee filling over the top. Top with another cake layer and spread with the cocoa filling. Top with the remaining cake layer. Frost the top and side of the cake with the remaining frosting. Pour the ganache over the top and gently spread with an offset spatula, letting it drip down the side. (If the ganache is too thick to pour, microwave in 10-second intervals until smooth.) Let set about 20 minutes before slicing.

TIRAMISU LAYER CAKE

All the goodness of tiramisu AND of cake; a perfectly decadent, moist dessert!

Provided by Dee Stillwell

Categories     Cakes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 box white cake mix and eggs, oil, & water to make according to pkg. i used 2 cake mixes & 2 - 10 inch pans to make layers thicker.
2 tsp instant coffee or expresso powder
3/4 c brewed coffee
3 Tbsp coffee liqueur
FILLING
1 - 8oz pkg mascarpone cheese
1/2 c powdered sugar
2 Tbsp coffee liqueur
FROSTING
2 c heavy cream, cold ( i usually use 1 cup more for decorating and borders)
1/4 c powdered sugar
2 Tbsp coffee liqueur
GARNISH
2 Tbsp cocoa, unsweetened
1/2 lb bar of semi sweet or dark chocolate,place in ziploc and warm in hands to make nice curls.

Steps:

  • 1. 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 (9 inch) round cake pans with Pam and line with parchment paper. In this pic of my cake I used 2 cake mixes. I made one coffee and one white and baked in 4 - 9 inch pans, since I wanted a nice thick cake. Or bake deeper layers in 2 pans, and split in 2 layers after chilled well. I also doubled the filling ingredients. That worked great since we like alot of filling.. 2. Prepare the cake mix according to package directions. Divide batter in half. Stir instant coffee(dissolved in 2 tsp hot water) into 1/2 of the batter; pour into prepared pans. 3. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 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. Chill well in fridge so cutting in half will be easier and cake layers will hold together. In a measuring cup, combine 3/4 cup brewed coffee and 3 tablespoon coffee liqueur; set aside. I personally would use a small spray bottle(kitchen use only) for soaking the cakes with this solution.
  • 2. 4. To make the filling: In a small bowl, using an electric mixer set on low speed, combine mascarpone,(see note) 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 to medium consistency. Fold 1/2 cup of whipped cream mixture into mascarpone filling mixture.
  • 3. 6. To assemble the cake: Slice chilled cake layers in half with sharp serrated blade knife. Place 1 layer of white cake on serving plate. Using a thin skewer, poke holes in cake, about 1 inch apart. Drizzle 1/4 of reserved coffee mixture over cake, then spread with 1/3 of the mascarpone filling mixture. Top with coffee-flavored cake layer; poke holes in cake. Drizzle another 1/4 of the coffee mixture over the coffee layer. Repeat with the next white layer and then the final coffee layer. On top layer, just poke holes and drizzle with coffee mixture. Thin coat the cake with whip cream frosting to seal on the crumbs. Then apply the final coat of whip cream frosting. Pipe borders on cake if you wish. I find it easiest to use a vegetable peeler to make chocolate curls. have chocolate at room temp. By peeling the curls onto a 9" paper plate until you have it covered and about 2-3 inches deep. Then slide it off onto the cake top. Dust with cocoa powder before serving.
  • 4. Notes: The reviews of this recipe suggested this amount of Kahlua and the coffee. Also making 2 layers of cake, 1 white, 1 coffee, and after splitting them and filling..stack every other flavor. Another hint was, the mascarpone can be exchanged with the recipe Colleen Sowa has posted here. It's a combination of 1 - 8oz pkg creamed cheese, 1/4 cup heavy cream and 2 Tbl. softened butter. It tastes just like marscapone cheese to me. It's much less expensive and worked great.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the mascarpone cheese and coffee. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of the cake.
  • Make sure the ladyfingers are soaked in coffee for just a few seconds. If they are too wet, they will become soggy and break apart.
  • When assembling the cake, be careful not to overmix the mascarpone mixture. If it is too runny, it will not hold its shape.
  • Chill the cake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
  • Serve the cake with a dusting of cocoa powder or grated chocolate.

Conclusion:

This tiramisu layer cake is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With its rich coffee flavor and creamy mascarpone filling, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
