How to Make Easy Tiramisu Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the original Betty Crocker recipe (this information is missing from the original description). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Prepare the cake batter according to the original Betty Crocker recipe. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  3. Bake according to the original Betty Crocker recipe's instructions until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the mascarpone cream. In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until combined.
  6. Brew strong coffee and let it cool completely. Add the coffee to the mascarpone mixture, along with the cocoa powder and Kahlua (optional). Beat until well combined.
  7. Once the cakes are completely cool, level the tops if necessary. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand.
  8. Spread half of the mascarpone cream evenly over the first cake layer.
  9. Top with the second cake layer and spread the remaining mascarpone cream over the top and sides of the cake.
  10. Dust the top of the cake with cocoa powder. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
