Ingredients

15 pieces
For the cake:
  • 300 gram butter
  • 250 gram sugar
  • 5 eggs (medium)
  • 120 gram sour cream
  • 300 gram self-raising flour
  • pinch of salt
  • 1 vanilla pod
  • 50 ml water
  • 1 tsp instant coffee
For the filling and topping:
  • 500 ml whipping cream
  • 250 gram powdered sugar
  • 500 gram mascarpone
  • 2 tsp instant coffee
  • cocoa powder

Equipment

  • Food processor or hand mixer
  • Spring form pan with a high rise 18 cm / 7 inch
  • Parchment paper
  • Piping bag
  • Nozzle (e.g. Wilton 2d)

INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):

Make the cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius / 340 Fahrenheit top and bottom heat.
  • Cream the butter and sugar with a mixer for 5 minutes until fluffy and pale.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, then the sour cream, self-raising flour, salt and the marrow of a vanilla pod.
  • Pour the mixture into the baking tin lined with parchement paper. Bake for about 40 minutes. Leave the cake to cool completely (at least 2 hours).
  • Boil the water, pour it into a glass with the instant coffee and stir.
  • Slice the cake into 3 layers and infuse with the instant coffee.

Make the filling and topping:

  • Make the mascarpone filling. Whip the whipping cream until you have stiff peaks and add the powdered sugar, fold in the mascarpone and instant coffee. Leave to set in the fridge for half an hour.
  • Divide the mascarpone cream over the cake layers and stack them on top of each other. I use the piping bag and nozzle for the layers and especially for the top of the cake to make nice tufts of cream.
  • Dust a little cocoa powder over the top and serve the cake*. Enjoy!
