Tiramisu cake - Marsala substitute

[MsHippo]

I want to make this chocolate tiramisu cake this weekend. The creamy mixture contains 125ml Marsala, and I think that might be a bit of a faff to find as I'm not near a bit supermarket. I could go on an adventure to find some, but if I could substitute it it that would make life easier. I was thinking maybe some kind of combination of brandy/desert wine/white wine, all of which I have. If anyone had any ideas they would be much appreciated!

Pretty sure with that amount of cream, coffee etc. then desert wine and a dash of brandy would be fine. I would reach for the cream sherry, myself (substituting one sweet, fortified wine for another...)

But if you track down some Marsala, then you can make zabaglione with it another time, which is officially the best pudding going.

yes I'd go for medium sherry or the dessert wine if you don't want to buy something you're not going to drink.

Sherry in a mushroom risotto is lovely, incidentally

I'd use brandy or do you have any coffee liqueur? If you wanted to cut down on the alcohol you could mix strong coffee and brandy.

Dark rum is lovely in tiramisu, as recommended by Delia www.deliaonline.com/recipes/main-ingredient/chocolate/tiramisu
Using spiced rum is even better if you have any
