2nd attempt

Hello everyone!

This week for my Genius Hour project, I decided to make a second attempt at the Tiramisu cake but this time, I tried to make individual servings and I tried to add a special ingredient.

I really liked the Tiramisu last time but I felt like it was missing something. Being French, we use a lot of alcohol in our baking and cooking and so I have had a little experience with which alcohol would add which specific tatse. For this attempt, I decided to use some Cointreau to add a little citrucy and orangy taste to the cake.

I thought that by putting the alcohol in with the cream of the Tiramisu cake, we would really taste it. Well, I was right, we definitly could taste the Cointreau, it add this subtle orange taste which fit very nicely with the Tiramisu. What I didn't know, though, is that the cream would not take and it would stay very liquid in the bowl. I probably should have added the alcohol to the coffee when dipping the biscuits thand in the batter.

I love baking, it makes me really happy! However, if I eat this cake every single week, I will not be able to keep up with the gym 😅
For my next attempt, I found a new recipe made with strawberries instead of chocolate and coffee. I'm sure, it will not make me skinnier but I'm sure it's somewhat a little healthier.

I will be sure to let you guys know how it taste and as Marie-Antoinette said: "Let them eat cake!!"
