Ingredients:

1 package of 400 gr.(14 ozs.) of Savoiardi biscuits ( However If you can find the larger biscotti then we suggest that)

4 sticks of unsalted butter (room temperature)
4 cups of espresso coffee (room temperature)
4 cups of Marsala a l’uovo (this is an Italian liquor)
1 1/2 cups of sugar
2 eggs (room temperature)
1 high ridged dish (in this video we used a 10” x 10” dish)

Garnishing:
1/2 cup of red maraschino cherries 🍒 (cut in half)
1/2 cup of green maraschino cherries (cut in half)
1/2 cup of your choice of sprinkles

Step 1) With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat your butter and sugar together
until you get a smooth, creamy texture.

Step 2) Add 2 tablespoons of room temperature espresso coffee ☕️ along with
2 eggs and mix until all your ingredients are well incorporated and set your mixture aside.

Step 3) In a 4 cup size measuring cup, add 2 cups of room temperature espresso coffee with 2 teaspoons of sugar and stir till the sugar is dissolved then add 2 cups of Marsala a l’uovo and mix well.

Step 4) Pour the prepared mixture in a deep dish.

Step 5) Dip the lady fingers one at a time and on each side and arrange them in a
single layer at the bottom of your dish to create your first layer.
*** Make sure not to soak the lady fingers too much or else your cake will collapse.

Step 6) Spread half of the buttered frosting over the first layer of lady fingers with an offset spatula.

Step 7) Dip the remaining of the lady fingers into the coffee and liquor mixture and
arrange another layer over the buttered frosting and spread the remaining frosting with your offset spatula.

Step 8) Now your cake is ready to be decorated with the green and red maraschino
cherries 🍒 and sprinkles.

Step 9) Place your cake in the freezer for one to two hours. Then remove your cake
cake from the freezer and cover it with plastic wrap and back into the freezer it goes. (By freezing the cake before placing the plastic wrap over it, prevents the plastic wrap to stick to the buttered frosting)
The cake should be kept in the freezer for at least 6 hours; however, overnight is best.

Step 10) When you are ready to serve the cake, remove it from the freezer one hour before serving it to your guests and place it on the countertop.
The cake can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Step 11) The cake can be served with a hot beverage, tea 🍵 or coffee ☕️, or with
a light liqueur.
