This Gourmet Tiramisu Yule Log Cake is a sophisticated twist on the classic Italian dessert, combining a light espresso-flavored sponge cake rolled with a rich mascarpone cream filling infused with coffee liqueur.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup plain flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder
  • 2 large egg whites, at room temperature
  • 5 tablespoons white sugar
  • 3 large egg yolks, at room temperature
  • 2 large whole eggs, at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • Cocoa powder for dusting
  • 7/8 cup chilled heavy cream
  • 3 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur
  • 1/2 cup chilled mascarpone cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400℉ (200℃). Line a jellyroll pan with parchment paper and lightly coat it with baking spray. Sift together the plain flour and instant espresso powder in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Beat the egg whites until foamy, then gradually add 5 tablespoons of white sugar until medium peaks form. Set aside. In another bowl, beat the egg yolks, whole eggs, and 3 tablespoons sugar until they reach the ribbon stage, about 5-10 minutes.
  3. Gently fold the egg white meringue into the egg yolk mixture in three additions. Fold in the sifted flour and espresso mixture until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared jellyroll pan and bake for 8-10 minutes.
  4. Dust the cake with cocoa powder. Turn the cake onto a fresh piece of parchment paper, roll it up starting from the short end, and let it cool rolled for about 20 minutes. Unroll and cool completely.
  5. Beat chilled heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and coffee-flavored liqueur to soft peaks. Fold in the chilled mascarpone cheese until smooth. Spread half of this filling over the cooled cake, leaving a 1/4 inch border on all sides.
  6. Re-roll the cake tightly from the same side. Frost the outside with the remaining filling and dust generously with cocoa powder. Trim the ends before serving. Enjoy your Tiramisu Yule Log Cake!
