To get started, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl mix together 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Tiramisu Cake
If you love the tastes of coffee and dessert, a Tiramisu Cake-infused with espresso and a layer of mascarpone cream- is sure to tantalize your taste buds. This classic Italian dessert is sure to bring a smile to your face as you indulge your senses with its distinctive flavor.
A Tiramisu Cake starts with a base of strong espresso. This can either be brewed from a pre-ground blend or freshly ground beans. Once the espresso is ready, it's blended with some sugar, cocoa, and water to make a thick syrup. This syrup acts as a binding agent for the ingredients in the cake batter. Next, the espresso syrup is combined with eggs and butter, along with some flour, baking powder, and salt. The batter is then spread into a cake pan and baked in the oven.
Once the cake is finished baking, it needs to cool completely before the topping can be added. The topping is a creamy layer of mascarpone cream- made from mascarpone cheese, cream, sugar, and a touch of espresso syrup. This layer of cream is spread evenly over the top of the cake and left to chill in the refrigerator for several hours - allowing the espresso flavors to really meld together with the mascarpone.
Finally, the Tiramisu Cake is ready to be served. This delectable dessert is perfect for parties, celebrations, or just a special treat. The combination of espresso and mascarpone cream is a classic pairing that is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
