  1. In a large bowl, beat 6 large egg yolks with ¾ cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of brandy until pale and thick, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Beat in 2 pounds (907g) of mascarpone cheese until smooth and well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 6 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until just combined.
  5. In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup of freshly brewed strong espresso, 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of brandy.
  6. Spread one-third of the mascarpone mixture evenly into a 9x13 inch glass baking dish.
  7. Lightly dust with 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder.
  8. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture, ensuring they are evenly moistened but not soggy. (about 24 ladyfingers)
  9. Arrange half of the ladyfingers close together on top of the mascarpone layer.
  10. Repeat layers using another one-third of the mascarpone mixture and the remaining ladyfingers.
  11. Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the top.
