Italian cooking is never complete without a mention of
this famed dessert. Tira-mi-su, which means ‘pick me up’, was so named because
its ingredients are all mood boosters! And will pick you up even on your gloomiest
day :).
My Tiramisu is result of a failed attempt to roll the cake to make a Swiss Roll. When my cake broke into two, I just whipped some cream & mixed some soaking syrup & turned it into Tiramisu :). And the result was so good that I will be making it again & again :)
Ingredients
½ tin condensed milk
1 ¼ cups plain maida
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ cup melted butter or margarine
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder
75 ml water
For Soaking Syrup
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp coffee powder
For Coffee Cream
1 cup whipped cream
1/2 cup powder sugar (according to taste)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp instant coffee powder
For Garnish
1/2 tsp drinking chocolate to sprinkle
Few chocolate pieces
Method
Take 7” by 11” rectangular tin & grease it.
Put a butter paper & apply butter again over it. Your tin is ready. Keep aside.
Sieve flour, baking powder, baking soda & cocoa powder together.
Mix condensed milk, melted butter & essence together.
Add flour & mix well. Add about 75 ml of water & beat well.
Now pour in the tin & Bake in hot oven at 200◦C for 10 minutes.
Then reduce the temperature to 150◦C and bake for another 10 minutes.
The cake is ready when it leaves the side and springy to touch.
For Soaking Syrup
Mix everything and keep aside.
For Coffee Cream
Mix sugar, whipped cream, coffee & vanilla & keep refrigerated till needed.
How To Proceed
Divide cake into two equal parts.
Brush both parts with soaking syrup (finish whole syrup).
Spread half coffee cream on one half of the cake and then put other Half of the cake on it.
Apply remaining coffee cream on top part & sprinkle cocoa powder.
Garnish with chocolate pieces & refrigerate for some time.
Cut the slices & enjoy !!
Tips
*I am not using any Kahlúa (Mexican coffee-flavored rum-based liqueur) in this recipe but if you want you can use that instead of soaking syrup.
*Tiramisu also has cheese in it but I avoided that too, if you want then you can add 1/2 cup cream cheese with whipped cream ( add little more sugar in that case).
*Here I made just two layers but this can be made till 4 layers, depending upon how thick you want your tiramisu :)
*I applied thin layer of cream (to avoid that extra fat), but you can use more cream (it will taste much better).
