Why you’ll love this Tiramisu Cake recipe
⭐️ Light in texture but rich in flavour ⭐️ Totally impressive and delicious ⭐️ Not too tricky to perfect The truth is, I love cooking. I mean, I love cooking. It’s way not cool to be a teenage goth that knows how to make a soufflé. I had Mary Berry’s Complete Cookbook and I was not afraid to use it. I adored Mary before The Bake Off made her cool. I poured over that book for hours. I dreamed of the creations in it, sophisticated duck á l’orange, fluorescent yellow mango cheesecake and fancy pants coronation chicken. (Surely they were a bit out of date even in the 1990s? I’m not that old, right?!) One dish stood out even more than all the others. The dreamy, creamy, light tiramisu. It was the height of cosmopolitan cooking. European, with booze in too! I loved making it. Seeing the eggs transform into this silky, cloud-like dessert never failed to secretly cheer me from my teenage angst. I made it at every opportunity. I still love and use that same recipe for tiramisu now, 18 years later. It was only a matter of time before the flavours made it into a cake, so I give you… Tiramisu Cake!
