Instructions
Make the Cake:

- In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks, sugar, butter and vanilla until creamy, then beat in the espresso powder and cocoa until combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they are stiff.
- Combine the flour, baking powder and salt and stir into the cocoa mixture.
- Fold in the egg whites.
- Spread the cake evenly in the pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Remove and immediately roll the cake up, starting at one small end.
- Place on a wire rack and cool completely.
Prepare the Tiramisu Filling:
- Beat the mascarpone cheese, sugar and liqueur until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream until stiff, then fold into the mascarpone mixture.
- Unroll the cooled cake and evenly spread out 2 thirds of the mixture over the entire cake. Roll the cake up and spread the remaining cream over the cake.
Add the Toppings:
- Dust the cake with cocoa powder and decorate with shaved chocolate curls.
Notes
Gentle folding: When folding in the egg whites, use a gentle hand to avoid deflating the batter. This keeps the cake light and airy.
Line the baking pan: Line your pan with parchment paper that is a little longer on each end. As soon as your cake comes out of the oven, roll it up in the parchment paper. No need to use a towel. A jelly roll pan is great for this recipe.
Spread the filling evenly: Fill the cake with an even layer of cream filling so the cake is even.
To make chocolate curls: Use a vegetable peeler and shave down the long side of the chocolate bar.
Cool completely: Allow the rolled cake to cool completely on a wire rack before adding the filling. This helps the filling set properly and makes rolling easier.
Clean slices: Use a sharp knife and wipe clean between cuts to slice the cake neatly.
