This Tiramisu Layer Cake is Jaw-Dropping Gorgeous!

I know I’m a bit early this month with our feature Tiramisu Layer Cake, but I wanted you to have this recipe while you are planning the Thanksgiving feast for this weekend. You need a show-stopper for the table… right? Nailed it!!!

Tiramisu-Layer-Cake_3 Tiramisu-Layer-Cake_3 This cake is light, but not too light. Just what you need after a big dinner of turkey, stuffing, gravy… I can taste it already… yum!


Tiramisu-Layer-Cake_4 This cake is a mile high, which in itself is quite impressive, but the ohhs and awhs will come when you slice it. Revealing the three layers with dripping coffee and liqueur may even get some applause! Now I am going to warn you, I was really skimpy

on the drizzle of coffee and liqueur on each layer. Just like you, I was thinking: will this make it too soogy? But don’t worry the cake layers can take it, it really adds a lot of moisture and yummy coffee goodness.

Come on I know you want to make this, just give in. There’s no need for excuses – it’s Thanksgiving! Enjoy!
