Tiramisu Sponge Cake

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, 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.
