Ingredients

For the Cake:
– 1½ cups All-purpose flour (188 grams)
– 1 teaspoon Baking powder
– ½ teaspoon Baking soda
– ½ teaspoon Salt
– 1 cup Regular Sugar (210 grams)
– ½ cup Yogurt (118 grams)
– ⅓ cup Water (110 ml)
– ⅓ cup Neutral-tasting oil (62 ml)
– 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

For the Mascarpone Frosting:
– 12 oz Mascarpone cheese (cold, straight from the fridge)
– 1½ cups Chilled Heavy whipping cream (straight from the fridge)
– ¾ cup Confectioner’s sugar
– 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
– Pinch of Salt

For the Coffee Mixture:
– 2 tablespoons Instant coffee
– ½ cup Water (or use ½ cup strong espresso)

For Dusting:
– Approx ½ cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (as needed)

Preparing the Eggless Tiramisu Cake

Preheat Your Oven

To start, preheat your oven to 325°F for a glass pan or 350°F for a metal one.

Prepare the Pan

While the oven warms up, line a 7 by 11-inch or a 9-inch pan with parchment paper. This step is crucial for easy removal later!

Cream Ingredients Together

In a mixing bowl, cream together the sugar, water, and yogurt until the sugar is completely dissolved. Then, add the oil and vanilla extract, whipping until well combined.

Mix Dry Ingredients

Next, in another bowl, sift together all the dry ingredients. A quick mix will ensure everything is evenly distributed.

Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture with a spatula or a hand mixer. Avoid over-mixing; you want a smooth, lump-free batter, but a little texture is okay—you want it to be medium consistency.

Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted comes out clean, or with just a few crumbs.

Cool the Cake

Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, invert it onto a cooling rack and carefully remove the parchment paper. Cover it with a clean cloth to keep it from drying out while it cools completely.

Making the Mascarpone Frosting

Prepare the Frosting

Now for the fun part! Prepare your mascarpone frosting by whipping together the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, confectioner’s sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. For a visual guide, check out the accompanying video!

Layering the Tiramisu Cake

Slice the Cake

Using a serrated knife or cake leveler, slice the cooled cake horizontally to create two layers. This creates the perfect canvas for all those delicious layers.

Brush with Coffee Mixture

Take your prepared coffee mixture and generously brush it over the first layer of cake. Then, spread a thick layer of mascarpone frosting right on top!

Repeat Layers

Now, place the second layer on top and repeat the brushing and frosting process. When you’re done, dust the top with cocoa powder generously.

Chill the Cake

Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 4-6 hours. This chilling time helps all those wonderful flavors develop.

Serving Suggestions

When it’s time to serve, pull the cake out of the refrigerator and slice it up. Serve it chilled, garnished with additional cocoa powder or even a few coffee beans for an elegant touch. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side raises the experience even further.

Tips for Success

• Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature. This makes mixing a breeze.
• Chill both the mascarpone and the heavy cream; cold ingredients whip better!

Variations

Feeling adventurous? Consider substituting the coffee with a flavored syrup for a unique twist. Or add a layer of fresh fruit like strawberries or raspberries for a burst of freshness.

Storage Tips

If you have leftover cake (though it may be hard to resist!), store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can also freeze it for longer storage. Just make sure to wrap it tightly, then thaw before serving.

Pairing Ideas

To enjoy your Tiramisu Cake to the fullest, pair it with a strong cup of coffee or even a nice dessert wine. If you’re looking to contrast the flavors, serving it alongside a fruit tart can provide a wonderful balance.
