Don't cut corners making this lovely dessert. Prepared properly, it is truly wonderful. Marscapone is an Italian cheese, similar, but much creamier than cream cheese.
Prep the loaf pan by putting a sheet of foil large enough that it comes out the sides. This will make it easier to get the tiramisu out of the pan at serving time.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the mascarpone, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and mace.
Dip the ladyfingers in the coffee, shake off excess, and place a layer of them in the loaf pan.
Make a layer of some of the mascarpone mixture, then dipped fingers, then mascarpone, and finally dipped fingers.
Put the loaf in the refrigerator, covered, until serving time.
At serving time, get a nice serving dish and put it on top of the loaf pan. Turn the pan upside down and the tiramisu should fall out nicely.
Put the cocoa in a strainer and dust the top of the tiramisu with the cocoa.
Finally, put the powdered sugar in the stainer and dust the tiramisu with the sugar. Serve immediately.

If you are concerned about caffeine, please feel to use decaffeinated instead. Just make sure it's made very strong.
