Every year for my parent's anniversary I'm in charge of making them a nice cake. And I have tried to start a tradition with this. One year it's my mom's favorite dessert: black forest cake. The following is my dad's favorite: tiramisu. And finally, the third year is a surprise. It sounds complicated but it's really fun to do it this way and a lot easier. The hard part is to find that "perfect" recipe. Whenever it's about a month until their anniversary, I start my Pinterest hunt on that perfect recipe.

This year it was my dad's favorite: tiramisu. And so I searched through hundreds of pins until I found one that had everything I wanted. The recipe was fairly easy and I had access to all of the ingredients and it even included a YouTube video which is amazing! And I mean, look at how delicious it looks! I took that image from her website.
This pin was taken from Recipe Tin Eats, they have many incredible recipes that I will for sure be trying out. The "voice, cook and photographer" is Nagi from Sydney, Australia. Her philosophy is to have recipes for fast meals made with everyday ingredients, which is honestly something I always look for.
Something I loved about this recipe is the amount of information she posted. Aside from explaining where she got it from, she also has the basics of course (total time, prep time, ingredients, serving, etc) and she also has some notes that are extremely helpful.
I followed the instructions one by one and made sure I did everything as it said to be done. The only thing I did not add (sadly) is the liquor. Now, before that angry crowd forms, I do have a reason for this! I can't have alcohol due to some medication I take. And my sister nor father can take it as well due to the same reason. And well excuse the horrible pictures, I noticed how bad they were after I uploaded them to my computer, but here is the result:
Now, a big problem I had was that I used a pan that was a lot bigger than the one used in the recipe. That meant that I needed a little bit more of things and so I had to buy the cream ingredients again because I did not have enough. When I made it the night before, all the stores were closed so I couldn't buy what I needed until the next day. That made the last layer not set on time (sadly) and so it was a bit runny as you can see.
However, the very next day it was absolutely perfect! I didn't sprinkle some cocoa powder as recommended because I honestly just really wanted to have a piece! As you can see, it was not runny at all and the taste was just even better.
My final thoughts on this recipe: I love it! It's easy to make and with simple ingredients that you can find at your local store. I loved all the information available on the website, including the video. I totally recommend it! So go! Pin this recipe!
