Tiramisu Cake
This tiramisu cake recipe is a richly flavored layering of espresso-soaked cake and whipped Kahlua filling.
Zach and I love tiramisu.
Whenever we go out for a special occasion we are typically scoping out restaurants that offer tiramisu on the dessert menu.
I started making this recipe for our anniversary shortly after we were married.
Several tweaks here and there and 8 years later it is one of our favorites! It looks beautiful when dusted with cocoa or topped with shaved chocolate, and the delicious layers of coffee-soaked cake and Kahlua whipped filling make it a winner every time!
for an extra delicious taste make espresso instead of using instant coffee. I personally like to use our automated espresso machine.

This recipe is a must-have for special occasions. Beautiful when presented and yummy when tasted – tiramisu lovers will not want to miss this!
Bon appetit!
