Actually I wanted to diet, but then I saw the theme of SHF # 18: Liqueur, choosen by Chandra, and I could not resist to prepare a cake I saw a few weeks ago in a journal.
I prepared only the half of the batter. As an Amaretto-lover I substitute the Cointreau, and added a little bit more of the almond liqueur.
It’s a „cup*“-recipe. I do not like this measurment unit. Perhaps that’s why the cake came out not so airy. The consistence of my cake was quite dense, but very tasty, a little bit like marzipan.

Creme
250g Mascarpone

Mix carfully Mascarpone and icing sugar, stir in egg (if 2 one after one). Dissolve Nescafé in hot water, add Amaretto. Mix flour, almonds and backing powder, add to the rest of the batter.

*cup = 2 dl
200 ml Inhalt hat, warum nimmst du dann nur 2 EL Wasser für das halbe Rezept, das sind nach meinen Berechnungen nur 30 ml statt 100 ml? Sieht sehr lecker aus, das lässt Jeans noch schneller einlaufen ;)

Weil ich 3 grosszügige EL Amaretto genommen habe. ;-) Mit dem Abmessen der trocken Zutaten stimmt es wohl auch nicht so genau, aber ich mag die etwas zähe „Marzipanmasse“ auch. ;-)
Ja, ist wirklich kein Diätkuchen. :-((

bei dir 3 großzügige EL Amaretto statt 45 ml also 105 ml = 7 EL? Hicks…
Nice recipe, nice presentation and nice picture!!!!! :o)

Ich glaube nicht, ich habe es nicht genau abgemessen. *hicks* Der Alkohol verdampft sowieso beim Backen. ;-)
I am going to make this tiramisu for my husband’s birthday in early June. He will be thrilled. My mouth waters just looking at the photographs!
