How To Make The Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉, and grease and line two 6-inch pans with parchment paper.
  • Whisk all dry ingredients and set aside.
    2 cups All-purpose flour, 2 teaspoon Baking powder, ½ teaspoon Salt, 1 tablespoon Espresso powder
  • Use the whisk attachment to whisk the eggs and sugar for a few minutes until the mixture is creamy and light.
    3 Eggs, 1½ cups Sugar
  • Add the oil and applesauce and mix well.
    ½ cup oil, ½ cup Applesauce
  • Next, add the sour cream and vanilla extract and mix well.
    ½ cup Sour cream, 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
  • Add in the dry ingredients and gently mix. Do not overmix.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes. Let cool down in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool down completely.

How To Make The Cream

  • Pour the water and sugar into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Bring the heat down and let simmer for a few minutes.
    ¾ cup Sugar, ¼ cup Water
  • Whisk the egg yolks and vanilla extract for 5 minutes until they are pale, light and creamy.
    6 Yolks, 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
  • While the yolks are whisking, stream the hot syrup on the side of the bowl and keep whisking until the bowl cools down. This may take up to 7-10 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, soften the Mascarpone cheese until it is lump-free and smooth. Add the cheese to the yolk mixture and mix well.
    500 grams Mascarpone cheese

How To Assemble

  • Place the first cake layer on the base turntable, brush it with the brewed coffee, and ensure it is not hot. Cover the cake with a generous amount of cream, then sift a good amount of cocoa powder over the cream.
    ½ cup Brewed Coffee, ½ cup Cocoa powder
  • Repeat these steps until you place the third cake layer. Cover the entire cake with mascarpone cream, and top the cake with a generous amount of dusting cocoa powder.
  • If you have leftover cream, pipe it on the cake and finish with more cocoa powder. Leave the cake in the fridge for 2-3 hours before serving.
