Sponge Cake 1 store-bought or homemade sponge cake
Mascarpone Cheese 16 oz (450 g)
Sugar 1/2 cup (100 g)
Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon
Gelato 2 pints (1 liter)
Strong Coffee 1 cup, cooled

Take note
Make sure you have enough fridge space to accommodate the gelato cake while it sets. Also, be careful when handling the hot coffee mixture to avoid any burns.

1

Brew Some Strong Coffee

Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee, and let it cool down to room temperature. You'll need this later to soak the sponge cake.

2

Prepare the Sponge Cake

Next, prepare a sponge cake according to your favorite recipe or using a store-bought one. Cut the cake into thin slices, approximately 1/4 inch thick.

3

Whip Up the Mascarpone Cream

In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. Set aside.

4

Layer the Gelato and Sponge Cake

Line a round cake pan with plastic wrap. Arrange a layer of sponge cake slices on the bottom, making sure to cover the entire surface. Next, spread a generous layer of gelato over the cake slices.

5

Soak the Sponge Cake

Pour the cooled coffee over the gelato and sponge cake layers, making sure to soak the cake evenly. You can use a pastry brush or a spoon to drizzle the coffee.

6

Repeat the Layers

Repeat steps 4 and 5 to create additional layers of sponge cake, gelato, and soaked coffee. Don't be shy with the gelato!

7

Finish with a Gelato Layer

For the final layer, use a generous amount of gelato and spread it evenly over the top. Smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

8

Chill and Let It Set

Cover the cake pan with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Let the tiramisu gelato cake chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to set completely.

Serve and Enjoy!

When ready to serve, carefully remove the plastic wrap from the cake pan and invert the cake onto a serving plate. Cut into slices and savor the creamy, coffee-infused deliciousness!
