How to Make Chocolate Tiramisu 1996 Canadian Italian Recipe

  1. **Syrup:**
  2. Combine 1 cup strong brewed coffee, 1/4 cup Kahlua, and 2 tablespoons rum in a saucepan.
  3. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
  4. **Chocolate Melting:** Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate, chopped, in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir until smooth, remove from heat, and let cool.
  5. **Filling:**
  6. In a large bowl, beat 16 ounces of mascarpone cheese until light and fluffy.
  7. In a separate heatproof bowl set over simmering water, whisk 4 large egg yolks with 1/4 cup granulated sugar until pale yellow and thick (about 5-7 minutes). The mixture should be warm to the touch.
  8. Remove from heat and gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the mascarpone cheese.
  9. Stir in the cooled melted chocolate until well combined.
  10. In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
  11. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  12. Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture. Stir in the remaining Kahlua and rum.
  13. Refrigerate the filling while preparing the cake.
  14. **Chocolate Cake:**
  15. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  16. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  17. In a separate large bowl, beat 2 large eggs with an electric mixer for 2 minutes until pale and thick. Add 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup water. Mix well.
  18. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  19. In a clean bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with 1/2 cup granulated sugar until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  20. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter.
  21. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  22. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  23. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  24. **Assembly:**
  25. Once cakes and filling are completely cool, use a 9-inch springform pan.
  26. Slice each cake into two layers, creating four layers in total.
  27. Place one cake layer in the springform pan. Brush lightly with the cooled coffee syrup. Spread a layer of the chocolate filling over the syrup.
  28. Repeat layers until all cake and filling are used, ending with a cake layer brushed with syrup.
  29. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
