A soft and moist two-layer tiramisu milk cake combining fluffy sponge, coffee-infused milk soak, and a rich mascarpone cream topping for a light yet indulgent dessert.
Ingredients
- For the Sponge Cake:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Milk Soak:
- 1/2 cup condensed milk
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk or regular milk
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee dissolved in 2 tablespoons warm water
- For the Cream Layer:
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For Topping:
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line two round cake pans or one pan to slice later.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until pale and slightly thick.
- Add milk, oil, and vanilla extract; mix until smooth.
- Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture without overmixing.
- Pour batter into pans and bake for 20–25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
- Prepare the milk soak by mixing condensed milk, milk, and dissolved coffee.
- Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- In another bowl, mix mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture until light and fluffy.
- Place one cake layer on a plate, soak with half the milk mixture, and spread cream on top.
- Add second layer, soak again, and spread remaining cream over the top.
- Dust cocoa powder evenly on top.
- Refrigerate for at least 2–3 hours before serving.
Notes
- Substitute mascarpone with cream cheese for a tangier flavor.
- Use yogurt instead of eggs for an eggless version.
- Increase coffee for a stronger flavor.
- Add cocoa powder to batter for a chocolate variation.
- Best served chilled after resting for several hours.
- Store in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
