Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese (full-fat)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two round 9-inch cake pans.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat eggs with melted butter and cooled coffee until smooth.
- Gradually mix dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pans.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool briefly in pans before transferring to wire racks.

- Chill for at least two hours before serving and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.
