Classic Tiramisu Layer Cake

I am sure I don’t have to translate this cake, by now everyone has heard of Tiramisu and eaten it.

But twenty years ago that wasn’t the case, no one had ever heard of Tiramisu, except if you were Italian.

I was in fact in Italy when I first tasted it. My sister- in-law made it for her daughter’s birthday. But after that first taste, I have never forgotten this Homemade Classic Italian Tiramisu Layer Cake.

It has become one of my favourites and my family’s favourites. In fact the Italian requests it for every one of his birthdays!

This Tiramisu Layer Cake has pretty well become our the standard birthday cake. Sometimes I try to make variations to change it up a bit.

From Tiramisu Gelato to a Yummy Roll Cake to even an Easy Tiramisu Pie and I didn’t leave the kids out either, I made a Kid Friendly Tiramisu without coffee.

So what is so special about this Tiramisu you ask? Well it is made with an Italian Sponge Cake instead of Italian Savoiardi which are also known as Lady Fingers.

This cake should be made the night before and kept in the fridge, before you serve it you can sprinkle it with chocolate curls or cocoa.

I made it once two hours ahead of time and it just wasn’t  the same, it was good but much better if you wait. The cake is really easy to make and to put together.
