Create a refreshing G&T tiramisu by layering our lemon syrup cake mix with gin-infused cream and lemon syrup. A show-stopping summer dessert perfect for entertaining, pair with a gin and tonic for an extra special touch.
Ingredients:
  • 550g packet Taste Baking Mix Classic Lemon Syrup Cake
  • 60g unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 3 eggs
  • 185ml (3/4 cup) milk
  • 1/2 lemon, rind finely grated, plus extra rind, cut into thin strips
  • 80ml (1/3 cup) tonic water
  • 50ml fresh lemon juice
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) gin
  • 600ml thickened cream
  • 2 x 250g tub mascarpone
  • Thinly sliced lemon and lime, to serve
  • Lime rind, cut into thin strips, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan forced. Grease a 20cm round cake pan and line the base with baking paper. In a bowl, combine Taste cake mix (set aside lemon syrup mix), butter, eggs, milk, and lemon rind using electric beaters on low speed until smooth. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, occasionally scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Combine the reserved syrup mix, tonic water, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until reduced to about 160ml (2/3 cup). Let it cool slightly before stirring in the gin.
  • In a bowl, combine cream, mascarpone, and 2 tablespoons of cooled lemon syrup. Beat with electric beaters until stiff peaks form.
  • Slice the cake into 10 equal 1.5cm thick pieces. Layer half of the slices on the base of a 7cm-deep dish measuring 20.5 x 31cm. Brush with one-third of the syrup. Spread half of the cream mixture on top. Add the rest of the cake slices. Brush with half of the remaining syrup. Spread the remaining cream mixture on top. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours. Garnish with lemon and lime slices, zest, and drizzle with remaining syrup.
