TIRAMISU CAKE
1 (2-layer-size) butter recipe cake mix
6 egg yolks
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese
1 pint heavy (whipping) cream, whipped
3 ounces Kahlua
1/2 cup espresso or strong-brewed coffee
Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting top)
Confectioners' sugar (for dusting top)
FOR SERVING:
White Chocolate Sauce (recipe follows)

TO MAKE THE CAKE:
Prepare cake mix according to package directions and bake in 2 round layers. When cake has cooled, slice each layer to make four layers. Place waxed paper between layers and refrigerate until ready to assemble cake.
TO MAKE THE FILLING:
Beat together egg yolks and sugar in top of double boiler until smooth and lemon colored. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove mixture from heat. Stir in cream cheese, beating well. Let cool to room temperature. Fold cream cheese mixture into whipped cream. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
TO ASSEMBLE THE CAKE:
Combine Kahlua and espresso. Place first layer on cake plate and brush with Kahlua mixture. Spread cream cheese mixture until it barely spills over the edge. Repeat with remaining cake layers, finishing with cream cheese mixture. Dust top of cake with cocoas and confectioners' sugar.
Serve with White Chocolate Sauce and Dark Chocolate Sauce swirled together on plates.
