Slice the cake and
put on the bottom of a square form. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar
until white. Whip the cream and mix with the yolk mixture; add the mascarpone
and the coffee. Sprinkle the liqueur over the cake and poor the mascarpone
mixture on the cake. Spread the cacao on top with a sieve. Put in the
fridge for three hours.
Tiramisu
comes from the northwestern part of Italy. The word means "pick-me-up"
but experts have different opinions about the essential meaning thereof.
There are many versions of this recipe. The classic version is made
with Italian cookies. As these are not available in far-away Bangladesh,
I used plain pound cake, and made my own, a little easier, version (but
still delicious). More interesting information on

tiramisu.
