Thank you very much for your advise on using the digestive biscuits certainly gave it a nice nutty edge The old boy bought me a fantastic xmas present a beautiful Kitchenaide beater - so thought it was appropriate that the first recipe I used it for was one of yours - as it was your thread on here that alerted me to the fact that the new kenwood would not be as good as my old one Appreciate your input to this recipe board

Thats great to hear. Glad you like the "Mama's Cake" it really is ovely,albeit very rich. If you have not eaten it all, you will find it even better the following day or so. I am glad you are enjoying your KitchenAid stand mixer too, they really do a great job. What colour did you get! I am glad that I could be of help to you and that at times, I do manage to give some good recipes and advice, thank you for letting me know.

Here you go novices, I have just copy and pasted it from an earlier post. Someone asked for a goood tiramisu recipe. This is "Mama's Cake" and is a delicious tiramisu done in a loaf tin, so it makes for easy slicing. Be warned, it is EXTREMELY rich. The recipe comes from a real Italian "Mama" and is quite delicious.
3/4 cup espresso coffee ( or very strong coffee) 1/4 cup rum 1/2 cup caster sugar 4 egg yolks 3/4 tub cream cheese at room temp 1 tsp vanilla essence ( use pure if you can) 2 1/2 cups cream 1 pkt digestive biscuits 1/4 cup cocoa ( I use a good quality Dutch "Blookers" cocoa)
Make coffee and allow to cool. Mix with the rum and set aside. Beat sugar & egg yolks together in a large bowl until light and creamy. Beat in the cream cheese until mixture is very smooth. In a clean bowl, beat together the cream and vanilla until mixture is of a thick,pouring consistency. Do NOT beat until it is like whipped cream. Beat together the cream cheese mixture with cream until it is thick and spreadable. Line a loaf tin with plastic wrap or tinfoil ( usually use the foil) and smooth the edges out. Spread 1/5th of the mixture in bottom of tin. Quickly dip digestives in the coffee/rum mix and place a layer of biscuits on top of the cream mixture and sprinkle liberally with sifted cocoa. Repeat three layers, finishing with a layer of cream and cocoa. Refrigerate overrnight or minimum of 4 hours ( I prefer overnight for a firmer dessert which is easier to slice) Serve sliced with seasonal fruits.

I have appreciated what you have posted. It is interesting how you begin to recognized various posters. And think 'they will have a helpful thought'.or 'wonder what nasty or unnecessarything will be posted by them today'
Cooks, you are the former.thank you

Brilliant, would love to hear what they think. Make it the day before as it will taste even better. it is VERY rich, so just a small slice. I serve it with fresh berries on the side, usually raspberries and red currants.

Oh, the boysenberry is beautiful. I have a lady in Dannevirke who bought the boysenberry one earlier this year and she tells me how wonderful it is each time she comes down to the shop to visit! She reckons they make the BEST sponge cakes.
