Tiramisu cake
I made this for Mother's Day because my mum loves tiramisu! I can honestly say it wasn't any more difficult than making any cake - and it was worth the extra time of brushing coffee over the sponge, whipping the mascarpone because the result was amazing, everyone loved it, it went so fast! The mascarpone centre also has a splash of Marsala wine - all the best parts of tiramisu!
