This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy. Clearly tiramisu is an Italian dessert. I’d call this the Russian adaptation. What makes it so? Instead of ladyfingers, I’m using a basic biskvit cake recipe (you may know it as biscuit). Biskvit is an excellent European sponge cake and it doesn’t get mushy or soggy. The ingredients are so easy and practical (a non-mascarpone version) and it turns out delicious. The frosting is light and fabulous. This version actually tastes good for a couple of days after it’s made. Hope you enjoy it, my family loves it! 

Ingredients for Biskvit Tiramisu Cake:

6 large eggs, room temp 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted *measured correctly 1 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract

Ingredients for Tiramisu Frosting:

1.5 cups heavy whipping cream, very cold 1 (8oz) stick cream cheese, room temperature 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Ingredients for Tiramisu Coffee Syrup & Topping:

1 1/2 cups Strong coffee, room temperature or cold 2 Tbsp granulated sugar 2 tsp rum 1 Tbsp unsweetened Cocoa Powder for dusting the finished cake
