After dinner at Tolarnos we came home for coffee, cake & traditional early present opening!
I made a tiramisu cake from Allan Campion & Michele Curtis' 'Food with Friends', it was so easy to put together & a big hit with all. Here's the recipe
Tiramisu Cake
200g dark chocolate chopped into chunks (or use the melts like I did)
3 medium eggs, seperated
60 ml (1/4 cup) marsala
250 g mascarpone
150 g Italian sponge fingers
100 ml strong coffee
cocoa powder
cream to serve
22cm springform cake tin
Put chocolate in a heatproof bowl & set over saucepan of simmering water until melted. Beat egg yolks with marsala until pale & creamy. Add mascarpone to beaten yolks & beat until smooth. Add melted chocolate to mix & stir until well combined. Whip egg whites until stiff, fold into the mix.
Line springform tin with greaseproof paper. Lay half the spnge fingers in the bottom of the cake tin & drizzle with half the coffee. Pour the mascarpone mix into cake tin. Top with remaining biscuits & drizzle with remaining coffe. Cover with glad wrap & refrigerate for 3-4 hours or overnight until set.
To serve, remove cake carefully, dust with cocoa powder & serve with cream

Cheerio,

Hey Ange,
I had a go at this cake too, it's the 2nd time I've made it and everyone loves it. The Masala taste is very pronnounced in this cake, but always good during the festive season!
I posted my attempt on my blog www.totallyaddictedtotaste.blogspot.com
hope you dont mind me linking to your site!
