The strawberry and mascarpone cake is an easy and delicious dessert. It’s one of those extra indulgent cakes without butter and without yeast.
Super quick, it only takes 5 minutes to make, prepared with classic ingredients we all have at home, like: eggs, sugar, flour, and mascarpone. Additionally, I recommend trying the mascarpone and Nutella cake and the chocolate and mascarpone cake. The strawberry and mascarpone cake is great for breakfast and a fragrant, moist, and super easy snack—try it soon and let me know in the comments!
