Start by preparing the coffee and let it cool down, then mix the egg yolks with the icing sugar until the sugar melts then place the bowl in a pan with boiling water, being careful that the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water until the egg stiffens. Take them off the heat and add the vanilla essence, let it cool down and stir from time to time to prevent a crust forming.
Mix the cream on a low speed until stiff. In a different bowl mix the mascarpone cheese with the vanilla sugar then add the cream. At the end pour in the egg yolks and mix with a wooden spoon. Put it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
After the cream has set layer a loaf tin or a cake tray with cling film then dunk the sponge fingers in the coffee mixed with the brandy then place them in the tray, spread a layer of cream and continue like this until you don't have any cream left making sure the last layer is with sponge fingers.
Cover the cake with cling film and put it in the fridge over night. When ready turn over the cake on a plate, remove the clingfilm and cut as you wish.
ENJOY!!!
