Instructions
Egg yolk mixture – Place the egg yolks, salt, and half the sugar in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Whisk for a few minutes until the mixture becomes pale, slightly thick, and fluffy. Remove from the heat, add the vanilla and alcohol, and set aside to cool completely.
6 large Egg yolks, 100 g Sugar, ¼ tsp Salt, 2 tbsp Alcohol – dark rum, brandy , 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Whip the cream - Whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar until it reaches soft to medium peaks. It should hold its shape but still be smooth.
500 ml Heavy cream , 120 g Powdered sugar , 1½ tsp Vanilla extract
Prepare the mascarpone - In a separate bowl, stir the mascarpone just until smooth and creamy. Do not overmix.
500 g Mascarpone cheese
Make the filling – Fold the cooled egg yolk mixture into the mascarpone until combined. Then fold in the whipped cream gently with a spatula until the mixture is smooth and no streaks remain.
Prepare the coffee soak - Pour the cooled coffee into a shallow bowl and add alcohol if using.
360 ml Strong coffee or espresso, 2 - 3 tbsp Alcohol (Rum, Marsala, or Coffee Liqueur)
Assemble the cake - Dip each ladyfinger briefly in the coffee and arrange in a single layer in a springform pan or cake pan. Spread a layer of mascarpone cream over the top. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and cream, finishing with cream on top.
350 g Ladyfingers
Chill - Cover and refrigerate for at least 6–8 hours, preferably overnight, until firm.
Finish - Dust with cocoa powder just before serving. Slice with a sharp knife for clean layers.
2 - 3 tbsp Cocoa powder
