Shoprite supermarkets sells almond crunch cake and its so perfect. I was wondering if it's matching a tiramisu because they are next to one another and the single difference i can see is that instead of cocoa powder and espresso the almond one has cruched almonds and almond extract/liqueor. I want to know what the creamy innards is.i know tiramisu has mascapone cheese or something.??
