The Best Tiramisu Recipe

My Tiramisu Cake never fails to deliver. Over the years, this has become one of the most favorite desserts in my closest circle of family and friends.

Tiramisu is a coffee flavored Italian dessert made of ladyfingers dipped in coffee of your choice, layered with a whipped mixture of irresistible creamy mascarpone cheese, eggs and flavored with cocoa. It is one of the most popular desserts worldwide; however, it is relatively a new invention by looking the history books. The recipe for tiramisu is not found in cookbooks before 1960s. It is said that tiramisu has aphrodisiac qualities.

Numerous variations of Tiramisu exists. Bakers living in different parts of Italy often debate on combinations used in preparing this mouth watering dessert. That begs us to think creatively by our own right. Why don’t we do some experiments ourselves? What I can say with confidence that my way of making tiramisu has always been a hit among family and friends alike!

Enough of history, I guess! Let’s make a mouth watering, eye pleasing, and the best tiramisu cake following step by step directions below!
