Ingredients

  • One prepared 10 x 12-inch Vanilla Sponge Cake about 3 inches tall
  • 3 ounces strong Black Coffee cooled to room temperature
  • 3 ounces Brandy or Rum
  • 1 1/2 pounds Mascarpone warmed to room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar divided
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder as needed, to dust

Instructions

  • Cut across middle of sponge cake forming two layers, each about 1 1/2 inches high.
  • Add coffee and brandy or rum to a small bowl. Mix well.
  • Sprinkle enough of coffee/brandy or rum mixture over bottom 1/2 layer of cake to flavor it strongly. Just a nice sprinkling - Don't soak cake too much or it may collapse on serving.
  • Add room-temperature Mascarpone and 1 cup sugar to a mixing bowl. Beat until sugar is completely dissolved and cheese is light and spreadable.
  • Taste about halfway through beating. Add more sugar if needed.
  • Spread 1/2 of the sweet Mascarpone over cut surface of bottom layer (the one you sprinkled).
  • Place second layer, cut side down, atop lower layer.
  • Spread remaining sweet Mascarpone over top.
  • Sprinkle top liberally with sifted cocoa powder.
  • Refrigerate cake for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving.
