Tiramisu Sponge Cake is a classic Italian recipe that I baked for my Dad’s 75th birthday today and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Coffee sponge:
Ingredients:
- 200g soft butter
- 200g caster sugar
- 1tsp baking powder
- 200g self-raising flour
- 1tsp espresso coffee/finely ground NESCAFÉ Alta Rica
- 4 eggs
- ¼ c milk
Method:
- Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy
- Now add vanilla and espresso powder
- After that add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition
- Combine flour, and baking powder in another bowl.
- Sift over the creamed mixture bit by bit
- Stir in gently until well combined
- Add milk if the mixture is too stiff, as the cake mixture should be soft but not runny.
- Divide into 2 well-greased cake tins and bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 17-20 min.
- Cool in the tin completely before turning out.
