For decoration:

Instructions:

1. Prepare the cake base:
   • Preheat your oven to 170°C. Butter and flour a 24/26 cm tart mold.
   • In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until pale, thick and frothy. Add the oil and milk, continuing to mix until well combined.
   • Sift together the flour and baking powder, then add the vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
   • Pour the batter into the prepared pie pan and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool completely.

2. Prepare the mascarpone cream:
   • In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar for syrup. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture begins to simmer. Remove from heat and set aside.
   • In a bowl, whip the crème fraîche until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate.
   • In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the 30 grams of sugar until the mixture is pale and frothy. Slowly pour the prepared syrup into the yolks while continuing to whisk until the mixture is thick and has cooled slightly.
   • Gently fold the mascarpone into the egg yolk mixture, then gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Prepare the coffee soak:
   • In a small bowl, dissolve sugar in hot espresso. Add water and let cool.
4. Assemble the pie:
   • Once the cake base has cooled, brush it evenly with coffee, making sure it is well saturated.
   • Spread the mascarpone cream over the soaked cake base, using a spatula to create an even layer. If desired, use a piping bag to create swirls or decorative designs with the cream.
5. Decorate and serve:
   • Sprinkle the top of the pie generously with unsweetened cocoa powder. For best results, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
   • Cut and enjoy this elegant and tasty tiramisu tart.
