This Tiramisu Tres Leches Cake combines two classics into one incredibly delicious and decadent cake. This elegant espresso-spiked cake with a heavenly mascarpone topping is perfect and truly special. Chef Dave’s Tiramisu Tres Leches Cake

Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Butter a 9x13x2-inch baking pan.

2. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a small bowl and set aside. Place the eggs, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and the vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, and beat on medium high for 10 minutes (really!) until light yellow and fluffy. Reduce the speed to low, and slowly add half the flour mixture, then the milk, and finally the remaining flour mixture. Scrape bowl with a rubber spatula to be sure the batter is well-mixed. Pour the batter into prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 25 minutes, until the cake springs back when touched lightly in the middle and a cake tester comes out clean. Set aside to cool in the pan for 30 minutes. 3. In a 4-cup liquid measuring cup, whisk together the heavy cream, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, instant coffee, and Kahlua. Using a bamboo skewer, poke holes all over the cooled cake, and slowly pour the creammixture over the cake, allowing it to absorb completely before continuing to pour on more of the mixture. 4. To make the topping, first whip the heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks. In another bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese with the powdered sugar until smooth. Add the whipped cream and continue whisking until fully incorporated and smooth. Top the cake with the mascarpone topping, and sprinkle with some shaved chocolate. You can also dust the top with cocoa powder instead, and serve it up with strawberries or raspberries as a garnish. 5. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
