For the Cake

  • 2 large Egg Yolks Necessary for texture.
  • 2 large Whole Eggs
For the Filling
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Essential for texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Choose pure vanilla for best results.
  • 1 tablespoon Coffee Liqueur Optional for non-alcoholic version.
  • 8 ounces Mascarpone Cheese Can substitute with cream cheese and heavy cream mix or a non-dairy blend.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400℉ (200℃) and line a jellyroll pan with parchment paper. Lightly spray with baking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the plain flour and espresso powder. Set aside.
  3. Beat the egg whites in a clean bowl until foamy. Gradually add 5 tablespoons of sugar and beat until medium peaks form.
  4. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks, whole eggs, and 3 tablespoons of sugar until light in color and ribbon-like.
  5. Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture in three additions. Then fold in the sifted flour and espresso powder until just combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the cake springs back.
  7. Roll the cake in parchment paper while warm and let it cool in this shape for about 20 minutes.
  8. Beat the cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and coffee liqueur until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese.
  9. Spread half of the filling over the cooled cake, then roll the cake back into its log shape.
  10. Frost the exterior of the Tiramisu Yule Log Cake with the remaining filling and dust with cocoa powder before serving.
