How to make instant (cheat) Tiramisu in a mug cake style?
Baking purists kindly excuse because this recipe for Tiramisu Mug Cake is a total cheat one! I have replaced practically everything that goes into the original & traditional Italian dessert, Tiramisu.
If you have some good coffee, cocoa powder, whipped cream and ingredients to bake a Vanilla Cake, you can easily pull of this cheat recipe for Tiramisu. If you want an entire dessert, then check out his recipe.
To begin with, bake Vanilla Mug Cakes and allow them to cool first before assembling the dessert. Meanwhile, prepare the coffee liqueur. This has to be one strong shot which will flavour the vanilla cakes. You can use either Instant Coffee or ground roasted Filter Coffee. Personally, I find Davidoff, Lavazza & Nescafe Matinal really good for this. However, the regular Nescafe Classic or Bru also serves equally well.
Use chilled whipping cream to top the dessert. If you are using unsweetened cream, then add some sugar or any other sweetener of your choice. Once you have assembled the dessert, chill it before serving.
This cheat Tiramisu Mug Cake recipe is a perfect dessert idea for when you are entertaining guests. Bake the Vanilla mug cakes earlier and freeze them. Before serving you may quickly assemble the dessert and be the star of your party. After all as they say, all’s well that end well. Dinner menu that ends with a fancy dessert like this would definitely put you on the map!

To bake the base Vanilla Cake
Pre-heat the oven at 180°C

Prepare the mugs for baking the cakes by brushing some oil.
Now, add the dry ingredients mix into the wet ingredients in 2 parts along with the milk and vanilla extract. Do not use electric beater for this. Rather use a balloon whisk or a fork.
Once the batter is ready, divide it in the mugs and bake it for 15-17 minutes.
Once you see the cake pulling from the side of the mug, you will know it is baked. Insert a toothpick in the centre and it should come out clean.
Take the mug cakes out from the oven and allow them to cool down completely.

Poke some holes in the Vanilla Mug Cake. Now, drizzle the coffee liqueur on the cakes so that it gets absorbed. If there is extra coffee on the top, discard it.
Now, top the mug cakes with the whipped cream and flatten the top with the back of a knife.
