Tiramisu Layer Cake - Elevated version of the classic Italian dessert featuring layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and luxurious mascarpone cream, dusted with cocoa powder. The magic of tiramisu lies in the contrast between the strong coffee flavor, sweet marsala-infused cream, and bitter cocoa topping. This no-bake dessert achieves its characteristic lightness from whipped egg whites folded into the mascarpone mixture, creating an airy texture that melts in your mouth. Unlike traditional versions, this cake presentation allows for beautiful layers visible when sliced, making it perfect for special occasions. The flavors develop and improve when allowed to chill overnight, making it an ideal make-ahead dessert for entertaining.

Serve chilled tiramisu slices on individual dessert plates dusted with additional cocoa powder. Use a warm, dry knife wiped clean between cuts for neat portions. Garnish with chocolate-covered espresso beans or coffee liqueur-soaked cherries. Accompany with freshly brewed espresso or dessert wine like Vin Santo. For special occasions, pipe additional mascarpone cream rosettes on top. Present on a cake stand for centerpiece appeal at gatherings. Refrigerate until the last possible moment to maintain structure and temperature.
How to Store?
Tiramisu stores excellently in the refrigerator for up to 4 days when covered tightly with plastic wrap. The flavors actually improve over the first 24-48 hours as the coffee soaks into the ladyfingers. Do not freeze as the texture of the mascarpone cream becomes grainy upon thawing. Store in the original baking dish or transfer individual portions to airtight containers. If the surface becomes dry, dust with additional cocoa powder before serving. For food safety, consume within 4 days due to the raw egg content, though many traditional recipes use this method safely.
