Ingredients
- 1 box strawberries
- 2 boxes *Lady Fingers
- 5 cups Strong coffee
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1/2 cup Brandy
- 1 cup Mascarpone
- 1/2 cup Unsweetened cocoa
- 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Mise en Place
- Hull strawberries and slice lengthwise into relatively even slices, about 3 slices per berry.
- Mix coffee, sugar, and brandy together. Remove about half and combine with mascarpone.
- Line a loaf pan with wax paper, making sure the paper goes above the edges of the pan. Line the lined pan with the sliced berries.
- Dip a ladyfinger in the coffee mixture and put it in the pan, covering some berries. Continue dipping and placing until you have a layer of fingers. Put a layer of cheese coffee mixture over the fingers. Layer with chocolate and powdered sugar. Continue layering until you have reached the top of the pan. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Put some strips of wax paper on a nice platter which can be removed later. Carefully unmold the cake from the pan onto the wax paper strips. You may frost the sides with whipped cream if desired.
Notes
Quick notes
When preparing the strawberries, if you have to wash them, make sure they are quite dry before slicing them. Only wash as many strawberries as you think you will need, and leave the rest alone. When you wash strawberries they MUST be eaten almost immediately because they begin to deteriorate.Variations
You can frost the sides of the cake with whipped cream if desired. You can also use shaved chocolate instead of unsweetened cocoa and powdered sugar.Scan for full nutrition info and step-by-step photos.
