Birthday Cake For My Boyfriend

It's tomorrow, Kris's special day! To make it even more memorable, Zoe has decided to surprise him with a delicious tiramisu. Let's join hands and guide you through the process of making this Italian classic. Follow these steps to help Zoe complete the cake: Step 1: Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee. You'll need about 1 cup for the recipe. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine 12-16 ladyfingers and sprinkle them with sugar. This will help keep them moist. Step 3: Prepare the mascarpone cream by whipping together 8 ounces of mascarpone cheese, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Step 4: Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for about 3-5 seconds on each side. They should be soft and pliable but not too wet. Step 5: In a large serving dish, create a layer of ladyfingers. You may need to trim them to fit the dish. Step 6: Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers. Step 7: Repeat the process by creating another layer of ladyfingers and topping it with the remaining mascarpone cream. Step 8: Chill the tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together. Now that the cake is ready, let's help Zoe decorate the room! Set the mood with some soft music, dim lighting, and a touch of elegance. Arrange some candles, flowers, or a small gift on the table to make it feel like a special celebration. With these steps, you'll be helping Zoe create an unforgettable birthday surprise for Kris. Have fun!
