Ingredients:

For the Sponge Cake:

• 3 large eggs
• 50 g granulated sugar
• 90 g all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Soaking Mixture:

• 1 can (approx. 395 g) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 can (approx. 410 g) unsweetened condensed milk
• 200 ml liquid cream
• 2 tablespoons instant coffee

For the Mascarpone Cream:

• 250 g mascarpone cheese
• 300 g cold heavy cream
• 25 g granulated sugar

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sponge Cake:
   • Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease and line a 20 cm round cake pan with parchment paper.
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture whitens and triples in volume.
   • Gently fold in the sifted flour, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
   • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
   • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
2. Soak the Cake:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, unsweetened condensed milk, liquid cream, and instant coffee. Mix until the coffee is fully dissolved.
   • While the cake is still warm, pour the soaking mixture evenly over the top, allowing it to absorb fully.
3. Prepare the Mascarpone Cream:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, cold heavy cream, and sugar.
   • Whisk the mixture until stiff peaks form and the cream is light and fluffy.
4. Assemble the Tiramisu:
   • Spread the whipped mascarpone cream evenly over the soaked cake.
   • Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
5. Serve:
   • Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder or garnish with your favorite toppings.
