Easy tiramisu cake recipe anyone?

[southjerseymom]

I had a recipe for an easy tiramisu cake that was made from a doctored up cake mix. I think it was from a 2004 issue of Woman's Day. I can't find it and would like to make it on Sunday for my dad's birthday. Does anyone have the recipe or one they'd like to share? The recipe I had called for a bundt pan. Thanks!

There is a recipe on the Woman's Day website made in a 9x13" pan.

I made the one Dorothy posted for a Supper Club back in October and everyone liked it. Wasn't a wow for me, but then not much was left over.

The Cake mix doctor recipe uses a 13x9 pan but if someone wants the recipe here it is...

EASY TIRAMISU


CAKE:

vegetable oil spray for misting the pan
1 package (18.25 oz) plain white cake mix
1 1/3 cups water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (such as canola, corn , etc..)
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla

SYRUP:

3/4 cup hot water
2 tablespoons instant coffee powder
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 cup kahlua or other coffee flavored liquer

TOPPING:

2 cups lowfat or nonfat vanilla yogurt
1 pkg (16 oz) cream cheese, at room temp
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

1. Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly mist a 13x9" baking pan with vegetable oil spray & set the pan aside.

2. Place the cake mix, water, oil, eggs and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to med and beat 2 minutes more. The batter should look thick and well blended. Pour the batter into the prepare pan, smoothing about with the rubber spatula. Place pan in oven.

3. Bake the cake until it is golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed with your finger, 32 to 35 minutes. Remove the pan from oven and place in on a wire rack to cool.

4. Meanwhile prepare the syrup. Place the hot water, coffee powder and sugar in a small bowl and stir to combine until the coffee and sugar dissolve. Stir in the coffee liquer. Poke holes in the cake with a chopstick or straw and spoon the syrup over the cake so that the syrup can seep down into the holes. Set the cake aside.

5. Prepare the topping. Place the yogurt, cream cheese and conf. sugar in a large mixing bowl and blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1-2 minutes. The mixture should look well combined and thick. Spread the topping over the syrup-soaked cake, using the rubber spatula to spread the topping out to the edges of the cake. No more than an hour before serving, sift the cocoa powder over the topping so that it covers the top of the cake . Slice the cake into squares and serve.

*Store this cake, covered in aluminum foil, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Can anyone answer the question as to why lady fingers are only seasonal??? or at least they are here. If restaurants can have them for tiramisu, why can't us common folk buy them all year long????

[southjerseymom]

Tea4One, the recipe from Family Circle is the one that I had (thought it was Women's Day). It's very easy and delicious! THANK YOU!!!!!

Ann Sanders, you may want to check the produce section of the supermarket. I've seen ladyfingers there all year at my supermarket. Yours should have it or ask them to bring it in.

Thanks again!!!

You're welcome. It took me a while searching for it.
