Ingredients
CHOUX PASTRY
- ¾ cup water
- 1½ teaspoons granulated sugar
- 7 tablespoons butter
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 4 large eggs (room temperature)
TIRAMISU FILLING
- 1 large egg (optional)
- 1½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons strong brewed coffee
- 1 cup mascarpone (room temperature)
- 1 tablespoon mascarpone (room temperature)
- 1 cup cream whole/heavy or whipping cream with at least 30% fat content
- 1 tablespoon cream whole/heavy or whipping cream with at least 30% fat content
Instructions
FOR THE CHOUX PASTRY
- In a medium pot on medium heat, add the water, butter, sugar and salt mixing to combine as the butter melts, when it starts to come to a rolling boil remove from the heat and add the flour all at once. Mix quickly and combine well with a wooden spoon.
- Place the pot on low heat and stir rapidly with a wooden spoon for approximately 2 minutes to allow the choux pastry to dry, it is ready when it starts to form a ball, loses its wet appearance and leaves white skin on the bottom of the pot, remove it from the heat.
- Pre-heat oven to 375F (190° C). Lightly spray or line two 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper.
- Transfer the dough to your mixing bowl and with the flat beater attachment start to mix on low for 1-2 minutes until the choux cools enough to add the eggs. Add one egg at a time and beat well before adding the next egg, one at a time. Scrape the bowl down after adding each egg. The dough batter should be glossy and creamy and fall in a stream from your paddle.
- Divide the batter between the prepared pans and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until golden and baked through. Turn off the oven. Leave the cakes in the oven to dry for an additional 25-30 minutes, leave the oven door slightly ajar with a wooden spoon handle in the door.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and move to a wire rack to cool completely. While the cakes are cooling make the filling.
FOR THE TIRAMISU FILLING
- In a large bowl beat together the sugar and egg until frothy, then add the coffee, mascarpone and cream, beat until thickened. If you don't use the egg, then beat the powdered sugar with the mascarpone and cream until thickened.
- Place one of the cakes on a cake plate and fill with the filling, top with the second cake and refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving. Dust with unsweetened cocoa before serving.
Notes
- For the replacement of raw eggs, you can try using a product called Egg Replacer or there are now pasteurized eggs available. Or you can leave it out completely, if you do then substitute powdered/icing sugar for granulated sugar.

- Similar to an eclair, you can store your cake in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. You may notice some moisture loss and sogginess may develop. It will still taste delicious!
- Yes! For longer storage, you can freeze slices of your choux pastry cake with tiramisu filling. Wrap slices in plastic wrap, then foil and store in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator then enjoy!
