- The cream curdled, is it saveable?
- Mascarpone is sensitive to overmixing. If it becomes grainy, try mixing in a tiny bit of liquid cream very gently until smooth, but next time stop as soon as peaks are stiff.
Coffee and Mascarpone Layer Cake
The elegance of Tiramisu in sliceable cake form. Juicy, coffee-soaked sponge layers and rich, creamy mascarpone create the perfect contrast. This is not a light dessert, but every calorie serves happiness.

Instructions
1
✓
Prepare the batter: cream butter with sugar, add eggs, then flour, baking powder, and coffee.
Tip: The acidity and liquid content of coffee tenderise the gluten, resulting in a crumbly sponge.
2
✓
Bake at 180°C for 35 minutes. Skewer test! Cool completely.
Tip: Do not frost a warm cake, as it will slide off.
3
✓
Whip the cream with the icing sugar, then fold in the loosened mascarpone.
Tip: Don't whip too long with the mascarpone, as it separates (butter forms).
4
✓
Cut the sponge in half, fill, and coat with the cream.
Tip: Refrigerate before serving to make it sliceable.
