Steps to Make Chocolate Tiramisu Cake
Now, let’s make the cake. Follow these steps carefully.
Step 1: Prepare The Coffee
Brew a cup of coffee. Let it cool. This coffee will soak the biscuits. It gives the tiramisu its unique flavor.
Step 2: Melt The Chocolate
Break the chocolate into small pieces. Place it in a small pot. Melt it slowly over low heat. Stir until smooth. Let it cool a bit.
Step 3: Make The Creamy Mixture
Separate the egg yolks and whites. In a bowl, mix yolks and sugar. Beat them until creamy. Add mascarpone cheese, melted chocolate, vanilla, and salt. Mix until smooth.
Step 4: Whip The Egg Whites
In another bowl, beat the egg whites. Beat them until they form stiff peaks. This means they look white and fluffy. Fold them into the creamy mixture gently.
Step 5: Layer The Cake
Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee—just a quick dip. Place them at the bottom of the baking dish. Cover with half of the creamy mixture. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers. Cover with the rest of the creamy mixture.
Step 6: Dust With Cocoa
Use a sieve to dust cocoa powder on top. This makes the cake look nice and adds flavor.
Step 7: Chill The Cake
Place the cake in the fridge. Let it chill for at least 4 hours. Overnight is best. This helps the flavors blend.
