Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 18 x 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
- Make cake: In a large bowl, beat egg yolks, sugar, butter, and vanilla until creamy. Beat in espresso powder and cocoa until combined. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt and stir into the cocoa mixture. Fold in egg whites. Spread cake evenly in the pan.
- Bake: Bake for 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove and immediately roll the cake up. Place on a wire rack and cool completely.
- Prepare tiramisu filling: Beat mascarpone cheese, sugar, and liqueur until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat whipping cream until stiff, then fold into the mascarpone mixture.
- Assemble: Unroll the cooled cake and evenly spread out 2/3 of the tiramisu filling over the entire cake. Roll the cake up and spread the remaining cream over the cake.
- Add toppings: Dust the cake with cocoa powder and decorate with shaved chocolate.
