Face Wrinkles Not Symmetrical

Tiramisu Cupcakes


I know people around me who can not do without them (s) minor (s) coffee (s) even a single day but are completely refractory to desserts flavored with coffee.
I coffee I do not like that in my cup 3-4 times a day and maybe more, I also love the creme brulee in the ice , in cakes in the panna cotta ... I am a true addict .. love coffee everywhere, everywhere .. and especially in the tiramisu!

Point discovering that several months ago with Mariadina photo of tiramisu cupcakes of Martha Stewart , I literally jumped at the recipe when I'm not particularly attracted to these cupcakes filled and more thing more extraordinary, I went almost immediately from reading the recipe to performance instead of placing it on the stack to be tested ... (Well, I still have work to do on the writing-publishing but that's another story!).

I'm not going to write sandwiches just one word: success!
In concept, nothing to say, the biscuits of the true tiramisu are advantageously replaced by an imitation vanilla sponge very well suited to absorb a large amount of liquid without falling apart, the coffee syrup "arranged" ( corretto ) permeates the cake its delicious fragrance and spicy sweet mascarpone cream that is if it ends without any problems at the teaspoon.

I grant you, this recipe takes a little time: it is far from cupcake base mounted on an ultra-basic cake made with two strokes of ladle and it takes patience to punch as it should with coffee syrup. But it's even more satisfaction when it comes time to bite your teeth and eat with relish ... at least once just to try ... just once!

Well, since we're talking about dessert and coffee, I want to send a virtual operator and wish my dad good health and long life on the occasion of his birthday today.
