    What is Tiramisu?

    Tiramisu is a traditional Italian dessert that mainly consists of mascarpone, coffee and cocoa powder. This 'veganised' recipe captures all of those flavours, combined with the soft texture of cake.

    Tips For Making My Vegan Tiramisu Cake

    Don't Over-Mix The Cake Batter

    As the chocolate batter for this cake is thin and runny, it can be tempting to whisk it. Don't do that. By the time the coffee is added, the flour will have already been folded

    Don't continue to mix for too long after you pour the coffee in. Once a smooth has formed and everything is incorporated, leave it alone.

    Use Instant Espresso Powder

    When mixed into the coffee cream, this dissolves instantly and has great flavour. Using actual coffee granules on the other hand will likely cause there to be lumps of coffee inside the cream.

    • This recipe is very easy.
    • It is a coffee lover's dream.
    • The chocolate cake is moist and light.
    • This treat is full vegan and dairy free.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is tiramisu vegan?

    A regular tiramisu recipe is not vegan. It traditionally contains ingredients such as, mascarpone cheese and possibly cream. I have used an alternate vegan cream cheese amongst other things to make my cake filling/topping.

    How To Store This Cake

    Keep this cake refrigerated. Store inside airtight containers for up to 4 days. This tiramisu cake still tastes great in the days after making it.
