To make this Decadent Chocolate Tiramisu Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cake:

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk

For the filling:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee
- 1/4 cup Kahlua or other coffee liqueur
- 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the topping:

- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before removing it from the pan.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream and granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, whisk together the brewed espresso or strong coffee and Kahlua. In another bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
To assemble the cake, cut the cooled cake in half horizontally. Place one half of the cake on a serving plate and brush it with the coffee mixture. Spread half of the mascarpone filling over the cake. Repeat with the second half of the cake and remaining filling.
For the topping, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the chocolate over the top of the cake.
This Decadent Chocolate Tiramisu Cake is a showstopper dessert that is sure to impress your guests. The rich chocolate cake is perfectly balanced with the creamy mascarpone filling and the coffee and Kahlua flavors add a delicious depth of flavor. This cake is perfect for any special occasion or just as a treat for yourself.
