Tiramisu Cake
Tiramisu Cake. Chocolately, gooey tiramisu cake. My dad absolutely loves tiramisu, so we decided to make this tiramisu cake !! It’s seriously delicious loaded with chunks of chocolate, soaked in a coffee-rum mixture, topped with a vanilla cream cheese frosting, cocoa powdered, and extra chocolate of course !! Happy weekend guys !!
Snow days are always grounds for baking. When it’s cold and snowy baking just brings a cozy vibe. The hard part is picking what to bake. This weekend I went with another cake. And since Tiramisu is a favorite of my dads, I went with this amazingly delicious, gooey, chocolatey Tiramisu Cake.
We have been wanting to make Tiramisu for a little while now, so this cake was the perfect way to give traditional tiramisu a twist. It still has all the traditional ingredients, but since its more of a cake it’s a little different which is always fun.
It’s got the chocolate chunks, the rum, the dark roast coffee, the vanilla whipped cream, and the best part…extra chocolate on top !! If you guys are in need of a good snow day cake, do not hesitate to try this one because it totally did not disappoint anyone in our house !!
