How to Prepare the Stracciatella Filled Cake
In a bowl, add the eggs and sugar. Mix with the electric mixer until you get a fluffy and frothy mixture.
Add the oil, coffee, and water. Mix with the electric mixer.
Add the flour and baking powder. Mix well, being careful not to create lumps.
Pour the mixture into a previously buttered and floured 11-inch mold and bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Let it cook for about 35/40 minutes. Please check the cooking times based on your oven.
Remove from the oven, let the cake cool completely, then cut it in half. Moisten the base of the cake with coffee or according to your taste.
In a bowl, add the cream and mascarpone. Whip with the electric mixer. Add the chocolate shavings and incorporate them with a spatula.
Fill the base of the cake and level. If you like, add small dollops of Nutella, spacing them apart. Use the tip of a knife to level them, incorporating them unevenly into the cream and mascarpone filling. Close the cake with the second layer.
Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. (Let it rest for at least 2 hours). If you like, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Storage
The cake can be stored in the refrigerator, covered, for 2 days. It is preferable to consume it within this time to best enjoy the freshness of the cream and mascarpone.
