Plumcake with mascarpone and chocolate, the perfect cake for breakfast. Finally, autumn has arrived, and I can start baking cakes again. I always prefer simple, soft, fluffy, and delicious cakes, the ones that instantly fill my house with their irresistible aroma. Like my soft Ace Ring Cake or the Hot Milk Cake. The recipe I want to share with you today was born by chance, I had some leftover mascarpone in the fridge from a tiramisu I had made the day before, so I decided to include it in the batter of a soft and very fluffy Chocolate Plumcake. The mascarpone replaces the butter or oil, making this cake as soft and fluffy as no other, perfect for dipping in milk or tea at breakfast. I used a plumcake mold, but with the same quantities, it also works well with a round cake tin 8-9 inches in diameter. If you, like me, love genuine cakes that make us feel at home, this is a recipe not to be missed. Let’s head to the kitchen and prepare together a super soft Mascarpone and Chocolate Cake

1/2 cup cups mascarpone
1 1/3 cups cups flour

How to Prepare Mascarpone and Chocolate Plumcake

Beat the 2 whole eggs with the sugar using an electric mixer for 7-8 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add the mascarpone and milk. Mix
Continue by adding the sifted flour, baking powder, and grated zest of half an orange. Mix
Finish with small pieces of dark chocolate. Stir with a spatula to mix it into the batter.
Pour the mixture into an 8-inch long loaf pan greased and floured.
My final touch before baking: use the spatula to create a groove along the center lengthwise. This will facilitate rising and ensure perfect baking.
Bake the Plumcake with mascarpone and chocolate in a preheated oven at 350°F for 35-40 minutes. Always do the toothpick test to check the internal cooking of the cake.
Let it cool before removing it from the pan and decorate as desired with powdered sugar
See you tomorrow with a new recipe, hugs, Loredana
