Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
  • 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry. Mix until just combined.
  5. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans and bake for 20–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
  6. Mix the coffee and coffee liqueur (if using) in a small bowl. Set aside.
  7. In a separate bowl, beat heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in mascarpone cheese gently until smooth and creamy.
  8. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Brush generously with half of the coffee mixture. Spread half of the mascarpone cream on top.
  9. Top with the second cake layer, brush with remaining coffee mixture, and spread remaining mascarpone cream on top and sides.
  10. Dust with cocoa powder just before serving. Chill at least 2 hours before slicing for best texture.

Notes

  • Chill the cake for several hours or overnight to let flavors meld.
  • Omit coffee liqueur for a non-alcoholic version.
  • Use a serrated knife for clean slices.
  • Mascarpone should be at room temperature to blend smoothly.
