Tiramisu is Italian for pick-me-up, and this treat truly lives up to its name. It's worth every bit of effort to see my husband's eyes light up when I put a piece of this delicious torte in front of him. Ingredients:
1 package white cake mix (regular size) |
1 cup strong brewed coffee, room temperature |
4 egg whites |
4 heath candy bars (1.4 ounces each), chopped |
frosting: |
4 ounces cream cheese, softened |
2/3 cup sugar |
1/3 cup chocolate syrup |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
2 cups heavy whipping cream |
6 tablespoons strong brewed coffee, room temperature |
1 heath candy bar (1.4 ounces), chopped |
Directions:
1. Line two greased 9-in. round baking pans with waxed paper and grease the paper; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, coffee and egg whites; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Fold in chopped candy bars.
2. Pour into prepared pans. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool.
3. For frosting, in a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in chocolate syrup and vanilla. Add the whipping cream. Beat on high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
4. Cut each cake horizontally into two layers. Place bottom layer on a serving plate; drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the coffee. Spread with 3/4 cup frosting. Repeat layers twice. Top with the remaining cake layer. Frost top and sides of cake with remaining frosting. Refrigerate overnight. Garnish with chopped candy bar. Yield: 12-14 servings.
