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:

  1. 200g soft butter
  2. 200g caster sugar
  3. 1tsp baking powder
  4. 200g self-raising flour
  5. 1tsp espresso coffee/finely ground NESCAFÉ Alta Rica
  6. 4 eggs
  7. 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, baking powder in another bowl.
  • Sift over 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.
