Biscocaffè: ingredients and preparation
For this recipe, get:

Line a plumcake mold with cellophane, this operation will make it very easy to extract your cake once it has firmed up.
As for the liqueur, if you like it, you choose the quantity according to your preferences, but remember that the alcohol will not evaporate because cooking is not foreseen. We at Non Solo di Riciclo recommend Marsala.
Prepare the coffee, pour it into a small bowl with the liqueur and keep it close at hand.
Soften the butter, transfer it to a bowl, add the icing sugar and the 3 egg yolks , then mix everything to obtain a well blended mixture.
Separately , whip the egg white until stiff, when it is swollen, add the cocoa too.
Add it to the egg, butter and sugar mixture , do it with delicate movements from bottom to top.
Quickly dip the biscuits in the coffee and make a first layer on the bottom of the pan. Fill it with the freshly made cream and alternate the layers until all the ingredients are used up. Place the tile in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Unmold, cut it and taste it… you will fall in love with it.
