Twinkamisu
Why I Love This Recipe
Pressed for time and facing a company potluck the next day, I took a shortcut to tiramisu. When my colleagues raved about the amazing texture, I winked and told them the secret was "pre-filled spongecake." They marveled at the exotic sounding ingredient and didn't ask any more questions.
