How to make chocolate cake with coffee and mascarpone – tips
As you may have noticed, I am a coffee lover – albeit one with a lot of milk, but I can’t imagine a day without it. That’s why we also have coffee notes here – I soaked the chocolate cake with coffee and amaretto – in the style of tiramisu. To this, I added mascarpone-based cream and dark chocolate. It turned out delicious – chocolatey, coffee-flavored, and creamy – I highly recommend it.
The chocolate cake itself is more substantial and moist than traditional chocolate sponge cake. Here, I added dark chocolate, butter, buttermilk, and ground almonds to the dough. Thanks to this, I obtained an incredibly rich-tasting cake that tastes sensational on its own! You must try it!
If you don’t want to use coffee, you can soak the cake with grain coffee, or simply lightly sweetened tea (although this cake is quite moist on its own).
