Ingredients
Scale
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
250g mascarpone cheese, chilled
Cocoa powder (for garnish)
Whipped cream swirls (optional)
Instructions
Whip eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add milk, oil, and vanilla. Fold in sifted flour and baking powder. Bake for 20–22 min at 350°F (175°C). Cool and slice into two layers.
Mix coffee, sugar, and instant granules until dissolved to make the syrup.
Whip cream, sugar, and vanilla to soft peaks. Add mascarpone and beat until smooth to make the cream filling.
Brush the first cake layer with syrup, spread cream, add the second layer, soak again, and frost the top with the remaining cream.
Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours (overnight is best). Dust with cocoa before serving.
Notes
Use decaf coffee for kids.
This cake can be made gluten-free with almond flour.
