Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1.25 cups Strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 pound Mascarpone cheese
- 1.25 cups Heavy cream
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 0.25 cups Dark chocolate shavings (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes in the pans, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Once the cakes are cool, use a long serrated knife to slice each cake horizontally in half, creating four thin layers total.
In a small bowl, combine the cooled brewed coffee with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, and remaining powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Brush the surface generously with the coffee mixture.
Spread a layer of the mascarpone cream over the soaked cake layer. Repeat the process with the remaining layers, ending with a layer of mascarpone cream on top.
Dust the top of the cake with cocoa powder. If desired, sprinkle with dark chocolate shavings for garnish.
Refrigerate the torte for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
