Tiramisu is the only cakes which I don't mind has a ton of cream. It's so easy and best of of all you don't have to switch on the oven, great for summer season.
I have made this version of tiramisu using sponge fingers (in the pic. I used basic sponge) and always received compliments. It's about time I share it here.
