How to Make Emeril's Tiramisu

  1. **Sponge Cake:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13 inch sheet pan.
  2. In a saucepan, heat 1 cup whole milk and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until butter is melted. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 4 large egg yolks over a hot water bath until the mixture triples in volume and is pale and ribbon-like (about 8-10 minutes).
  5. Gently fold in the flour mixture and the warm milk mixture until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool completely before cutting.
  8. **Mascarpone Cream:** In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup freshly brewed strong espresso, 2 tablespoons water, and 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier. Set aside.
  9. In a large bowl, beat 2 (8-ounce) packages mascarpone cheese and 1/4 cup rum until smooth.
  10. In a medium bowl, whisk together 4 large egg yolks and 3 tablespoons granulated sugar until pale and thick.
  11. Set over a hot water bath and whisk for 3 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  12. Remove from heat and immediately whisk into the mascarpone mixture.
  13. In a separate bowl, whip 2 cups heavy cream with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  14. Gently fold about 1/3 of the mascarpone mixture into the whipped cream, then fold the whipped cream into the remaining mascarpone mixture.
  15. In a clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 3 tablespoons granulated sugar and beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  16. Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture.
  17. **Assembly:** Cut the cooled sponge cake in half crosswise. Place one layer in the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish.
  18. Brush the cake with half of the espresso mixture.
  19. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the soaked cake layer.
  20. Sprinkle generously with cocoa powder and powdered sugar.
  21. Repeat layers with the remaining sponge cake, espresso mixture, and mascarpone cream.
  22. Sprinkle the top with cocoa powder and powdered sugar.
  23. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 2 hours before serving.
