EASY TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Lightly mist a 13- by 9-inch baking pan with vegetable oil spray.
• Set the pan aside.
• Place the cake mix, water, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
• Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute.
• Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more, scraping the sides down again, if needed.
• The batter should look thick and well blended.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with the rubber spatula.
• Place the pan in the oven.
• Bake the cake until it is golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed with your finger, 32 to 35 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool.
• Meanwhile, prepare the syrup.
• Place the hot water, coffee powder, and sugar in a small bowl and stir to combine until the coffee and sugar dissolve.
• Stir in the coffee liqueur.
• Poke holes in the cake with a chopstick or drinking straw and spoon the syrup over the cake so that the syrup can seep down into the holes.
• Set the cake aside.
• Prepare the topping.
• Place the yogurt, cream cheese, and confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl and blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 to 2 minutes.
• The mixture should look well combined and thick.
• Spread the topping over the syrup-soaked cake, using the rubber spatula to spread the topping out to the edges of the cake.
• No more than an hour before serving, sift the cocoa powder over the topping so that it covers the top of the cake.
• Slice the cake into squares and serve.
• Store this cake, covered in aluminum foil, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
