About tiramisu cake

Nothing is more satisfying after an Italian meal of pasta and salad than a spoonful of tiramisu, which means ‘pick me up’ in Italian.

It is a cool, refreshing Italian dessert that was initially created in Sienna, a northwestern province of Tuscany.

It was introduced to the public by Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in the movie Sleepless in Seattle. It has taken America by storm.

As its most basic, the dessert which is in some ways, like a British trifle, is composed of lady fingers or sponge cake dipped in espresso: a mascarpone cream cheese flavored with Marsala or triple sec or some combination of liqueurs; and a dusting of cocoa power.

Mascarpone is an Italian cheese with 70-75% milk fat, mascarpone is almost as high in fat as butter. Its flavor and texture are a cross between cream cheese and butter or similar to a very rich clotted cream.

The cake is best when it is cool, not cold, so give it about 20 minutes at room temperature.
