I will start my first cakethemed blogpost with this Tiramisu Cake. I chose this to be first, because this is also the first ever ordered cake. Outside my family of course - they get the cakes and everything else whenever they want. But this is the very first cake I sold. I consider it a very important milestone for me.

But well, as already said, then this is one of many many tiramisu variations and comes on a shape of cake. I am also pretty happy with the decorations, considering the lack of artistic side on me. For basis I baked a regular biscuit and added a little lemon peel to give it a little bittery taste. What is very important baking a biscuit, is that the oven is always preheated and that you do not open the oven door while baking it. For many people the biscuit tends to fall down after baking. You can awoid that for mixing the eggs to very thick foam and mixing flour in only one way, from down to up and not mixing the pastry too long. If this doesn't help, then mix 2 tablespoons of starch with flour. That should do the magic.

The cake has 3 layers and all of them are soaked with strong coffee. Filling contains mascarpone, whipped cream and a little Amaretto. I didn't want to use raw eggs on this one, while the cream tends to be more liquid then. Top layer is covered with thick Cacao layer and decorated with dark chocolate and physalis.
