A rich and decadent Tiramisu Chocolate Layer Cake combining the classic flavors of tiramisu with moist chocolate cake layers, mascarpone frosting, and a touch of espresso.

Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients on box: eggs, oil, water)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee (cooled)
  • 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to package instructions and divide into two round cake pans. Bake and let cool completely.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined.
  5. Mix the brewed espresso with the coffee liqueur (if using).
  6. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Brush with half of the coffee mixture.
  7. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the first cake layer.
  8. Place the second cake layer on top, brush with the remaining coffee mixture, and spread the remaining mascarpone cream evenly.
  9. Dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.
  10. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is fully cooled before assembling to prevent the cream from melting.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, skip the coffee liqueur.
  • Best served chilled.
