How to Make Angel Food Tiramisu

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch angel food cake pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the angel food cake mix, eggs, water, and oil until well combined.
  3. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Let the cake cool completely in the pan, then invert onto a wire rack.
  5. While the cake is cooling, prepare the coffee mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the strong brewed coffee, Kahlua, and sugar.
  6. In a medium bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
  7. Once the cake is completely cool, slice it horizontally into two layers.
  8. Dip each slice of cake briefly into the coffee mixture, ensuring it's just moistened, not soaked.
  9. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the bottom layer of cake.
  10. Top with the second layer of cake, and spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the top.
  11. Dust generously with cocoa powder and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
