Is tiramisu even an italian dessert?  I’m not sure.  I base this opinion on my Olive Garden experiences, which is pretty sad.  A simple Google search could solve this mystery.  Instead, I’m diving in to share a slice of this italian delight.

I looked for tiramisu recipe for a long time after trying Sweet Life’s version couple year ago.  They have a great tiramisu cake.  For mine, I wanted something balanced between coffee soaked cake without being a soggy mess.  The filling needed a light marscapone texture while still giving the same comfort as the creamy custard in the traditional tiramisu.  And of course the whole thing had to have chocolate.  Lots of chocolate.

This cake was delizioso!
