I dissolved the coffee in 2 Tbsp. hot water before mixing into the batter. The white layers create a beautiful contrast with very dark streaks of coffee on their tops, so I would stick to two white layers and only one coffee layer to keep the deep contrast. I like tiramisu, but I like that this recipe is a unique cake instead, so I stayed with the recipe amounts instead of making the layers overly moist. I followed another cook's idea and used a spay bottle.
This recipe is a fantastic concept, but do use a homemade white cake if you have it in you. Even the strong flavor of coffee did not cover up the artificial taste and "lightness" of the cake mix.
