Directions
- 1Combine strong coffee or espresso with rum in a medium bowl.

- 7Beat in all of your warm yolk mixture.
- 8In a separate large mixing bowl, beat cold heavy whipping cream until medium peaks form.

Tips
- Quickly dip ladyfingers into the coffee mixture.
- Be generous with cream because you want a thick layer of cream in the center of this cake.
- After topping with cocoa powder, wipe the knife clean between slices for cleaner cuts.
- If you over soak the ladyfingers, the cake may collapse.
