About

This is a fantastic special-occasion cake, perfect for a birthday, anniversary, or other noteworthy date. Whereas traditional tiramisu is assembled in a pan and served directly from it, this torte is surrounded by ladyfingers and can be sliced just like a cake.

Method

For the filling, whip the cream to soft peaks and set aside. Beat the mascarpone gently to soften and fold it into the whipped cream in 2 additions. You may have to use a whisk to fold this in a little more vigorously than with traditional folding in order to smooth out any lumps— if the whipped cream deflates a little, that is all right. Chill the mixture.
