Baking tin size: 18 cm / 7 inches

Ingredients

• 120 g unsalted butter (at room temperature)

• 120 g sugar

• 150 g all-purpose flour

• 9 g baking powder

• 2 eggs

• 60 ml strong coffee or ½ tbsp instant coffee crumbled into powder

Cream

• 250 g Mascarpone cheese

• 2 tbsp Icing sugar

• 30 ml strong coffee

Instructions

Cake:

1. Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (356°F).

2. Sift the flour with the baking powder and set aside.

3. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.

4. Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

5. Gradually fold in the flour and baking powder mixture, alternating with the room-temperature coffee. Mix until everything is just combined.

6. Grease an 18 cm (7-inch) cake tin with butter and lightly coat it with flour.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and bake at 180°C (356°F) for 30-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Once baked, remove the cake from the tin and place it on a wire rack to cool completely before applying the cream.

Mascarpone Cream:

In a clean mixing bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese with the icing sugar for 1-2 minutes. Then add the coffee and continue to mix until the cream is smooth and well combined.

Assemble the Cake:

Horizontally slice the cooled cake in half. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the bottom layer. Carefully place the second layer on top and spread the remaining cream over the top of the cake. Garnish with grated chocolate or decorate as desired.
