Tiramisu Layers Cake

Tiramisu Layers Cake

A dreamy, no-bake Tiramisu Layers Cake with creamy mascarpone, espresso-soaked sponge, and a dusting of cocoa. Elegant, indulgent, and surprisingly easy to make.

  • Total Time: 6 hours
  • Yield: 10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g Mascarpone Cheese
  • 400ml Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 4 large Egg Yolks
  • 150g Granulated Sugar
  • 300ml Espresso or Strong Coffee
  • Ladyfinger Sponge Cake or Sponge Layers (enough for 3 layers)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (for dusting)
  • A pinch of Salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: No oven needed. Chill your mixing tools and ingredients for smooth blending.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Whisk egg yolks with sugar until pale. In another bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Fold mascarpone into yolks, then gently fold in whipped cream. Stir in vanilla and salt.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Brew espresso and let it cool. Pour into a shallow dish.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Dip sponge layers briefly in espresso and place one in the pan. Add a layer of mascarpone cream. Repeat until three layers are formed, ending with cream.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Chill the cake in the fridge for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  6. Finishing Touches: Dust with cocoa powder before serving.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Slice with a warm knife and serve cold with coffee or milk.

Notes

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for the best flavor.
  • Do not over-soak the sponge or it will become soggy.
  • The cake tastes better the next day after flavors meld.
