Method
Step 1:
You will need two glasses approximately 150ml capacity.
Step 2:
Combine the coffee and Kahlua, and set aside until needed.
Step 3:
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, sugar and marsala until pale and frothy, then gently stir in the mascarpone, orange zest and orange blossom water.
Step 4:
In a separate clean bowl, whisk the egg white until stiff peaks form. Gently fold this into the mascarpone cream.
Step 5:
To assemble, take each sponge finger and dip into the coffee mixture until the sponge has fully absorbed. Break one half of a finger in two and place at the bottom of the glass, followed by a heaped tablespoon of the mascarpone cream.
Step 6:
Repeat again by placing the other half to the sponge finger broken in two on top, and spoon over another tablespoon of cream. At this stage, dust over a layer of cocoa powder.
Step 7:
Take a second whole coffee-soaked sponge finger, break into two and lay both halves on top. Cover in a little more cream and before serving, dust with another layer of cocoa.
