Try this one! While it doesn't exactly replicate the dessert as served in a restaurant, this "tiramisu cake" is outstanding and worthy of serving guests. We dusted cocoa powder across the top of the cake which made a nice presentation, and then the tasty layers inside are a surprise when you cut it open. It's a nice light dessert but in a good way - doesn't taste low-fat, and serves 8-12 people.

Hello! I am a student at UC Berkeley currently studying political science/economy and French. I am interested in the state of labor reform in Western European countries.
I love to travel...but with the weakening dollar I have had to make do with living in Berkeley for the time being...although it has not been bad at all! I live just a few blocks from Chez Panisse (hopefully I will go someday...)and there are so many different cuisines here that I want to try! I most recently had Tibetan and Burmese food, yum!
I am almost 100% converted to organic and environmentally friendly products...stop buying plastic bottles, bring your own bags to stores, reduce waste!
