Cake Base Ingredients- Store-bought cake mix (including oil packet)
- 1 Egg
- 100ml Water
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s make the cake base. In a bowl, combine the cake mix powder, the included oil packet, 1 egg, and 100ml of water. Whisk until smooth and free of lumps.
Step 2
Pour the batter into a microwave-safe dish. Microwave for approximately 4 minutes until the cake is cooked through. (Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave’s wattage. Insert a skewer to check; if it comes out clean, the cake is done.)
Step 3
While the cake is baking, prepare the coffee syrup. In a small bowl, mix 1 Tbsp instant coffee, 40g water, and 1/3 Tbsp sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
Step 4
In a clean bowl, pour in 150g of cold heavy cream. Whip using a whisk or hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
Step 5
In another bowl, soften 200g of cream cheese (at room temperature) with a whisk. Then, add 40g of sugar and 1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract, and whip until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Step 6
Soak 2 sheets of gelatin in cold water for about 5 minutes until softened. Squeeze out excess water. Microwave the softened gelatin for 10-15 seconds until it becomes liquid. Quickly add this melted gelatin to the cream cheese mixture (from step 4) and stir rapidly to combine, ensuring no lumps form. Speed is key here.
Step 7
Gently fold the whipped cream (from step 3) into the cream cheese mixture (from step 5) using a spatula. Mix just until combined, being careful not to deflate the cream. This creates your delicious tiramisu filling.
Step 8
Once the microwaved cake base has completely cooled, carefully slice it horizontally into two layers. Brush the cut surfaces generously with the coffee syrup (prepared in step 2) to moisten them.
Step 9
Place one layer of the moistened cake base into your serving dish or cake mold. Evenly spread a generous amount of the tiramisu cream filling over the cake layer.
Step 10
Add the second cake layer on top. Brush this layer with coffee syrup as well, then cover with the remaining tiramisu cream filling.
Step 11
Smooth the top surface of the cake neatly using a spatula or a flat knife. This will give your cake a clean, professional finish.
Step 12
Now for the fun part – drawing Frodo’s face! Using the black chocolate pen, carefully draw Frodo’s iconic features like his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears onto the top of the cake. Take your time to capture his cute expression perfectly.
Step 13
Dust the edges of the cake or the top surface lightly with cocoa powder using a sieve. This adds to the classic tiramisu appeal.
Step 14
Finally, gently place your pre-made Frodo-shaped cookie or decoration in the center of the cake. Congratulations! You’ve created a unique and delicious Kakao Friends Frodo Tiramisu Cake! 😀
