Ingredient Notes for the Best Tiramisu Cake

Espresso
  • Espresso gives Keto Tiramisu Cake its bold, slightly bitter depth. You can use decaf without affecting the flavor balance.

Cocoa Powder (Unsweetened)
  • Always use pure, unsweetened cocoa powder. For guidance on cocoa quality standards, see this DoFollow external resource from USDA – Cocoa Standards
Mascarpone
