Tiramisu Cake

Ingredients:

Cake

• 2 cups Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Flour

• 3 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp kosher salt

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar

• 3 large eggs, room temperature

• 2 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 cup dairy/non-dairy milk

Frosting

• 2 cups heavy cream

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 3 Tbsp granulated sugar

• Pinch of kosher salt

• 8 oz mascarpone cheese

Extras

• 1 cup espresso/coffee, room temperature or chilled

• 1 heaping tsp cocoa powder

Preheat the oven to 350F. Brew the espresso or coffee and let it cool. Make sure the butter, eggs, and mascarpone are all at room temperature.

In a standing mixer or large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and eggs, and then incorporate the vanilla and milk. In a separate bowl, combine the Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Gradually combine the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until fully homogeneous. Heavily grease your baking dish of choice, and pour the batter in. Lightly bang on a counter surface to remove any air bubbles, and then bake at 350F from 30-40 minutes depending on the size of your cake pan. Allow the cake to cool completely.

In another large bowl or standing mixer, pour in the heavy cream, vanilla, sugar, and kosher salt and beat together until it forms stiff peaks (3-5 minutes depending on the speed). Fold in the room temperature mascarpone cheese (this will make it much easier to incorporate), and then beat on high for one additional minute. Be sure not to over beat the cream, otherwise you’ll end up with a clumpy sweet butter. Chill until the cake is ready to top.

When the cake is cooled, douse with the brewed espresso. Chill in the fridge for a minimum of one hour to allow the cake to soak and drop in temperature. This will allow for maximum flavor and make the frosting of the cake easier to spread. Carefully and evenly spread the chilled mascarpone whipped cream frosting all over the top, and then sprinkle the cocoa powder over the top using a fine mesh sieve. Serve chilled and enjoy!
