• 2 cups sugar
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 3/4 cup cocoa
• 2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup soured milk
• 1 cup black coffee
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Tiramisu Cream Frosting
• 2 1/2 cups whipping cream
• 1/2 cup icing sugar

• 1 1/2 tbsp. instant espresso powder
• 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
• Chocolate Ganache

Preparation

Step 1

Combine cake ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes.

Pour into 2 greased and floured 9 inch cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

For the Tiramisu cream frosting, beat whipping cream, icing sugar, vanilla extract and expresso powder until stiff peaks form. Fold in 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese.

Finally, to make the chocolate ganache, scald the cream in the microwave until almost boiling, pour over the chocolate chips and let stand for 5 minutes before stirring until smooth.

Using a fork, stab holes all over the surface of both cake layers and pour over each layer: 2-3 ounces Kahlua liqueur.

Frost with the Tiramisu cream and drizzle the cake with the chocolate ganache using a piping bag or a ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.
