Steps

1. 1

   Brew the espresso, let it cool, and add the cognac. Set the coffee aside for soaking the sponge cake.

2. 2

   For the batter, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder. Separate the egg whites from the yolks.

3. 3

   Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks, add the sugar substitute to taste, and mix.

4. 4

   Combine the egg yolks with the melted butter. Add the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

5. 5

   Combine the egg white and egg yolk mixtures and gently fold them together.

6. 6

   Spread the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, greased if necessary. Use a spatula or wet hands to shape it into a square approximately 1 cm thick. Alternatively, pipe the batter into cookie shapes using a pastry bag.

7. 7

   Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for 15 minutes.

8. 8

   Let the sponge cake cool, remove the parchment paper, and cut the sponge cake into strips.

    Arrange the sponge cake strips on the bottom of the dish, first soaking them with the coffee. Spread a layer of cream on top, then repeat the layers. The recipe makes three layers.

    Refrigerate the tiramisu for 6–8 hours.
