How to Make Tiramisu Blondies

In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Then, pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step Four

Bake the brownie for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

Step Five

To make the mascarpone layer, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and coffee until smooth. Spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the cooled brownie layer. Smooth it with a spatula for a creamy finish. Dust with cocoa powder just before serving for a classic tiramisu look.
