Recipe: Tiramisu

General
Got some comments on how I made my recent Submission, the Tiramisu cake. HERE: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2277170
Quite simple, when one has a steady hand in baking and desserts.
One thing though, is a basic knowledge in beating egg whites into soft/medium/stiff peaks. An electric mixer saved the day for us that day. :D
How Tiramisu is made [ingredients I used in mine are in square brackets [ ] ]:
Ingredients:
40-50 Lady Fingers, or Genoise [World Market Ladyfingers]
3-4 cups Espresso, or Whatever-Favorite-Coffee-Drink (cooled) [Some Folgers Roasted Blend, mixed with Samatra Coffee with a little Half/Half]
Mascarpone Cheese
6 large eggs
1 cup of Sugar
Cocoa powder [Hershey's Unsweetened Cocoa]
Teaspoon of Brandy or Rum* *optional [Captain Morgan Spiced Rum]
1. Obtain, or make, Ladyfingers or Genoise cookies. Also have ready your Espresso/Coffee made and cooled to room temperature.
2. Separate the egg whites and yolks from all 6 eggs; next beating together the egg yolks with a teaspoon of Espresso/Coffee drink, along with the cup of sugar.
3. After beating the Egg Yolk mixture for 2-3 minutes, or until creamy, blend in the Mascarpone cheese for 4-5 minutes with the egg yolks. (Add in your Brandy/Rum here*).
4. Have ready a chilled metal bowl and chilled whisk, and whip the egg whites until they have stiff peaks. (20-30 minutes by hand, 10-20 minutes with electric mixer). Add a pinch of sugar.
5. Gently fold the whisked egg whites into Mascarpone mixture.
6. Now dip the Ladyfinger or Genoise cookies into remaining Espresso/Coffee mixture. Lay the cookies into a deep dish, or dessert dish.
7. After there is a layer of dipped cookies in the dish, sprinkle lightly with cocoa powder, then add half of the Mascarpone mixture on top of the cookies and glaze over until it neatly covers all the cookies.
8. Repeat with another dipped cookie layer, dusted with cocoa powder, and finally add the rest of the Mascarpone mixture on top.
9. Dust cocoa powder on top; one may use either stencils or a doily to make an intricate design on top (optional).
10. Place the tiramisu into the refrigerator for a minimum 1 hour; 24 hours preferable, before eating.
11. Enjoy.
