TIRAMISU TOFFEE TORTE



Tiramisu Toffee Torte image

Tiramisu is Italian for "pick-me-up," and this treat truly lives up to its name. The torte is truly worth every bit of effort. If you like, bake the cake in advance and split the layers, then freeze until you are ready to assemble it. -Donna Gonda, North Canton, Ohio
