Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Eggs: Use large eggs for a fluffier sponge; room temperature works best for better volume.
  • Granulated Sugar: This sweetener is essential for balancing flavors and achieving that perfect sponge texture.
  • All-Purpose Flour: A must-have for structure; make sure to sift it to avoid lumps in your batter.
  • Cocoa Powder: Choose unsweetened cocoa powder for an intense chocolate flavor without added sweetness.
  • Mascarpone Cheese: The star ingredient; opt for high-quality mascarpone for a rich and creamy filling.
  • Espresso or Strong Coffee: Brewed strong; this adds depth and authenticity to the classic tiramisu flavor.
  • Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract enhances the overall taste; artificial extracts won’t give you the same richness.
  • Heavy Cream: Whipped cream helps create a light and airy filling; use chilled cream for best results.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Prepare Your Workspace: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 15×10-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Mix the Sponge Cake Batter: In a bowl, whisk eggs and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. This should take about 5 minutes—your arm workout for the day!

Sift in Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in sifted flour and cocoa powder using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; we want that airy texture that makes it melt in your mouth.

Bake the Sponge Cake: Pour the batter into your prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes until it springs back when touched gently.

Prepare the Filling While It Cools: In another bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, espresso, and vanilla extract. Whip until smooth—this is where magic happens!

Assemble Your Cake Roll: Once cooled slightly, invert the sponge onto a clean towel dusted with cocoa powder. Spread the filling evenly on top before rolling tightly from one end to another.

Enjoy slicing through this decadent Tiramisu Cake Roll—each bite is pure bliss!
