The husband's birthday cake this year was a Tiramisu cake. I followed the recipe from Deb from Smitten Kitchen, and it turned out great. It's a great way to get all the flavors of Tiramisu through a traditional looking cake. The recipe is fool-proof if you follow every single step. Two layers of soft sponge cakes are soaked in coffee-syrup, and then frosted with mascarpone-coffee-cream icing. A minor addition of mine wad to add a teaspoon of almond extract in addition to vanilla extract, and other coffee fixings to the frosting. A dusting of cocoa on top rounds the Tiramisu flavor nicely. The frosting can be eaten as is :)
