tiramisu cakeThe most delicate and delicious dessert Tiramisu comes fromsunny Italy. There, to prepare this cake, they use fresh soft Mascarpone cheese, which goes into the cream, airy Italian Savoyardi cookies, which serve as the base of the cake, and Marsala wine to soak the cake layers. And due to the uniqueness of the ingredients included in the cake, it is quite difficult to reproduce its recipe at home. Mascarpone cheese with a fat content of 55% is produced only in Lombardy, on the Apennine Peninsula. This type of cheese is something between butter and very fatty sour cream. Unlike other types of cheese, Mascarpone is obtained by processing cream, not milk. Italian Savoyardi cookies are made in the form of tubes. Very rarely, cooks, for lack of cookies, use biscuit cakes. Marsala wine is popular with confectioners as well as rum, cognac and liqueurs, and it is often called a culinary wine. Marsala has been produced since 1773 in Sicily, near the city of Marsala. Therefore, these days, you can only try the real classic Tiramisu in Italy. As you understand, Mascarpone cheese, Savoyardi cookies, and Marsala wine are almost impossible to buy in our country. Although recently in some large supermarkets you can even find such rare products. But if you cannot exactly reproduce the recipe for the Italian Tiramisu cake, you can try to find an alternative to the unique ingredients and cook this dessert at home. At home, Mascarpone can be replaced with cream or fatty cottage cheese, Savoyardi - with biscuit cakes, and Marsala - with cognac or Amaretto liqueur. Most of us have nothing to compare the Italian dessert made from these products with! But we assure you that even an alternative recipe will be very close to the original.

Preparation:To make Tiramisu cake at home, we will make a sponge cake dough based on eggs. First of all, you need to carefully separate the yolks from the whites and beat the whites until foam forms. Then gradually add 50 grams of sugar, beating the whites until soft peaks form. Next, you need to separately beat the yolks with 50 grams of sugar until white and add vanillin. The next step is to pour the sifted flour and starch into the beaten yolks, carefully mixing the mass. Add a third of the whites to the yolk mass, mixing it with slow circular movements from top to bottom. Gradually add the remaining whites, carefully kneading the sponge cake dough. For baking, prepare a split form with a diameter of 23-26 centimeters, turn on the oven and heat it to 180 degrees. Cover the bottom of the form with parchment paper, pour in the dough and bake the sponge cake for about 30 minutes, checking for readiness with a skewer or match. Then cool the baked sponge cake and cut it into two equal layers. Now you need to prepare the cream for the cake. To do this, first build a water bath, and then start making the cream. Mix the yolks of four eggs with 200 grams of sugar and one-quarter cup of coffee and beat this mixture with a whisk in a water bath for about ten minutes until the mass thickens. By the way, the water should not boil in the pan! Separately beat the Mascarpone cheese and add the yolk mass to it in two or three steps. Also beat the cream with powdered sugar and gradually add it to the cream. Now you can assemble our Italian cake. Mix the remaining coffee with liqueur and soak each sponge cake with the resulting mixture. Then take a split form, place one cake on the bottom and lay out sponge cookies around the perimeter to make something like a fence. Grease the cake with half of the cream, cover with the second cake and spread the cream again, distributing it over the entire surface. Decorate the cake with chocolate, nuts or some other way. Leave the finished cake to soak in the refrigerator for at least six hours so that the cream hardens.tiramisu cake
