    This one is a little tricky but really worth it - and is crazy good! I use store-bought lady fingers instead of sheet cake.

    I felt that as a fairly experienced cook, this recipe would be easy to follow, but once into it, I found multiple problems, making it very difficult to determine the quantities of ingredients. Error one--beat eggs and yolks. I believe I used an extra 3 eggs in the recipe because I was figuring out as I went, making a really wierd light desert. Error 2--use of 3 tablespoons of sugar twice. Error 3--no clue how big the sponge cake was supposed to be. When I was done, my tiramisu was 6" deep. Error 4--Not sure if whipped cream measure was before whipping or after. I whipped 3 cups of heavy cream, as directed, and had about 5 cups more left than seemed reasonable.

    I've made this twice and both times it was gobbled up like crazy. I didn't have marsala, so I subed a mix of Tia Maria & Brandy. Excellent!!
