Description
A delightful swirl of cake infused with layers of rich coffee cream and adorned with the delicate crunch of sliced almonds, this Almond Tiramisu Roll Cake combines traditional tiramisu flavors in a soft roll.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cocoa powder for dusting
- Sliced almonds for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet (approximately 15×10 inches) with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
- Sift together the all-purpose and almond flour, along with the baking powder. Gently fold this mixture into the egg mixture, being careful not to overmix.
- Spread the batter evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. While still warm, roll the cake in the parchment paper to form a log. Allow it to cool completely.
- In another bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Unroll the cooled cake, brush generously with cooled coffee, and spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the top.
- Carefully roll the cake back into a log shape, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
- Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and sprinkle with sliced almonds for an elegant finish.
Notes
For a gluten-free version, substitute regular flour with gluten-free all-purpose flour. You can also add a splash of almond extract for extra almond flavor.
