Ingredients for the Soft Chocolate Cake
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup oz sugar
- 3/4 cup oz mascarpone
- 1 1/2 cups oz flour
- 1/3 cup oz unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 packet baking powder (8 grams)
- to taste powdered sugar (for decoration)
How to prepare the Chocolate Cake with Mascarpone
Beat the 2 whole eggs with the sugar using an electric beater for 7-8 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the mascarpone and mix well.
Now add the sifted flour and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Finally, add the baking powder and mix well.
Pour the batter into a 20 cm diameter cake tin that is greased or lined with parchment paper. Level it and bake in a preheated static oven at 356°F (180°C) for 35-40 minutes.
Always do the “toothpick test” to check the cooking even inside the cake.
Let the Mascarpone and Chocolate Cake cool before transferring it to a serving plate and decorate as desired with powdered sugar.
