This cake is going to become one of your go to recipes. It's easy, tasty, not too sweet, light, fluffy, moist and has no butter or oil! Could I have added any more positive adjectives in that line!?!?
This is just another of my simple Italian recipes that I like to share. You had me at chocolate as one follower wrote on my live video!
So without further waste of time... here's the recipe!
Italian Chocolate Mascarpone Cake
4 eggs
175 gr sugar = between 3/4 and 1 cup
250 gr mascarpone =about 9 oz. (most packages/containers are 8 oz. Just add an oz of milk or yogurt)
150 gr flour = 1 1/4 cup flour
50 gr unsweetened cocoa = 1/2 cup
4 gr baking powder= 1 tsp
5 gr vanilla extract= 1 tsp
eggs with sugar and mascarpone
add vanilla
mix flour cocoa and baking powder together
add dry mixture slowly to wet mixture
Pour into an 8 or 9 inch springform pan or a bundt pan.
Back for about 30 min on 350F/180C or until toothpick comes out clean.
Top with powdered sugar.
if you can get your hands on mascarpone... try cream cheese.
If you want to make it a little "fancier" take some extra mascarpone and mix with some raspberry jam. Cut cake in half (carefully!) and spread mixture between the layers! Oh yummmm! or mix the mascarpone with a little sugar and make the cheese and raspberry separate layers... either way is tasty!
Now wasn't that simple???
No need to be melting chocolate in a double boiler when you can have a perfectly yummy cake using unsweetened cocoa! It's simpler and I'll bet it's a bit healthier too!
Please enjoy this recipe! I know I have!!!
