Tiramisu Cake

Sponge cake, (10 to 12 inch about 3″ tall)
3 ounces Strong black coffee, or instant espresso
3 ounces Brandy or Rum
1−1/2 pounds Cream cheese or Mascarpone, room temperature
1−1/2 cups Superfine/ Powdered Sugar
Unsweetened cocoa powder or 1 large Semi-Sweet Chocolate Bar.

Cut across middle of sponge cake forming two layers, each about 1 1/2 inches
high.

Blend coffee and brandy. Sprinkle enough of mixture over bottom half of cake
to flavor it strongly. Don’t moisten cake too much or it may collapse on
serving.

Beat room−temperature cheese and 1 cup sugar until sugar is completely
dissolved and cheese is light and spreadable. Test for sweetness during
beating, adding more sugar if needed.
Spread cut surface of bottom layer with half of the cheese mixture.
Replace second layer and top this with remaining cheese mixture.
Sprinkle top liberally with sifted cocoa or using a carrot peeler, shave the edge of a Semi-Sweet Chocolate bar and sprinkle on top of the Cake for topping…

Refrigerate cake for at least 2-3 hours before serving.
