Tiramisu assembly
In a 10 x 10 serving dish spread a small amount of the mascarpone cheese mixture. Dip half of the ladyfingers into the espresso coffee (do not over-soak), one at a time, and lay them on the serving dish, over the cheese layer, flat side down, until you cover the bottom of the dish. Cover with half the mascarpone cheese mixture and then half of the whipping cream.
Repeat the above procedure with the remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone cheese and whipped cream to complete the second layer of the Tiramisu cake.
Dust the cake with good quality cocoa powder, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
