Tiramisu is a famous coffee-flavoured Italian dessert. It is generally made by dipping the ladyfinger biscuits in freshly brewed coffee, and layering it with a whipped custard mixture of eggs, sugar, and mascarpone cheese, flavoured with cocoa. The original recipe might be a bit tedious with beating egg yolks and we generally do not like to eat raw eggs in our cakes/desserts. So I wanted to go eggless and keep things simple and quick. Like me, you can choose to buy readymade ladyfinger biscuits (now its available online) from Nature's basket or Amazon. Or you can make do with vanilla sponge cake slices - bake them for 10 mins until they are crisp.
Tiramisu has been the most exquisite dessert for us, because of its rich coffee flavour and creamy texture. It was in my to-do list for a very long time, and I was so lazy to make it from scratch. In India it is difficult to get the ready made savoiardi or sponge finger biscuits. And mascarpone cheese availability is also an expensive and rare ingredient here. But you can make them at home if you have some patience. I was lucky that I had been to Europe last year and got a chance to get these biscuits to India. Since then I was planning to make this recipe for a special day, we are cutting calories otherwise you see :)

Beautiful flavors in one cake and just amazing! Do you love Caramel oozing on your cake? Do you love bursting citrus flavor? Nuttiness? Yes, then this is the one cake you must try without reasons. It is pretty easy and worth the time baking it, for that beautiful golden hues that you can admire all day.
Below recipe uses eggs, but I tried eggless version by replacing the egg with a 1/4 cup of hung curd. You can make the same cake with pineapples too and double the recipe for a 9" cake. This time I've tried to capture the recipe in pictures with butter and flour all over my phone. (Wonder how people take flawless pictures while cooking and hands dirty) This has a pudding texture, soaking up all the citrus and caramel syrup. Goes well with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of Vanilla ice cream on top or just plain old cake. I'm so excited to share this simple, yet an amazing recipe with you. It's so simple but the taste and the smell of the freshly baked loaf is just out of the world. The smell will still linger in the house after a day or two. It's so fun to be a part of these facebook baking groups, and to participate in the bake along events. If you are a beginner baker like me, you will not feel alone in the baking world out there. There are so many people to give you tips and share their experience in baking the same recipe, even with healthy replacements. Such a group is Fond bites by Subhashini. I'm so grateful and lucky to be a part of this group. This is the third bake along week I'm participating and I always look forward to new recipes every week.
This week it was a simple Lemon loaf recipe by Subhashini. But I had some sweet oranges, also called as Navel Oranges at home. The big orange coloured pretty ones, which almost looks like wax fruit. So I changed the recipe to make an orange loaf. Cutting my story short, lets get to the details of the recipe. The pinnacle of my dreams after I started baking was to make a beautiful Black forest cake, which is my childhood favorite cake ever! I baked it for Christmas... I know Plum cake is known for christmas. I researched a lot for the best plum cake recipe, but all of them had a long preparation list and alcohol is required to add the kick to the cake. So finally i decided to save those cake recipes for next christmas, and bake my favorite Black forest cake for the first time ever. It's the other name for Celebration, all that you love - Chocolate cake, cherries and whipped cream.
