1 Pack of White Cake Mix/ Vanilla Cake mix
2 tbsp Coffee of your choice —> Brewed (You should have ~3/4 cup of black coffee) (optional add 1 tbsp of Chocolate powder)
2.5 tbsp Coffee Powder
1 can evaporated milk
1/4 cup oil
1 tbsp Vanilla
3/4 cup Powdered Sugar
Shredded White chocolate pieces (Use a white chocolate bark and chop it up in tiny pieces, flakes)
Cocoa Powder for garnishing
Cake Pans+ Liners
Below ingredients need to be COLD:
1.5 cups Heavy whipping cream
3/4 box of Mascarpone cheese (or 1/2 cup cream cheese+ 1 tbsp sour cream)
Method:
1. Mix the Cake mix+ Evaporated Milk+ Oil well into a cake batter consistency.
2.Divide the batter up in 3 separate cake pans. Pour a little bit of batter (1.5 ladles) 1 pan with plain vanilla cake mix.
3.Take the remaining cake mix, add 3 tbsp of Powdered coffee and mix well; divide the batter up in 2 other cake pans.
4.Bake on 350 for 20-25 minutes, until its done well.
Pro tip: line the cake pans with cookie liners and sprinkle with flour so it is easier for the cakes to come out of the pans.
-Cool the cake on a cooling rack once they are out of the oven.
Make the icing:
-Mix the Heavy whipping cream+ powdered sugar and whip it with a stand mixer/hand mixer until it starts getting a little stiff.
-Add the Mascarpone cheese and vanilla and beat the mixture till stiff peaks form. (It should take about 1-2 minutes total)
-Refrigerate the mixture until further use.
Assembly:
- Line the cakes in order of Coffee-Vanilla-Coffee. On the 2 coffee sponges you will spoon 1/4 cup of the brewed black coffee mixture. You will see the sponge will absorb the coffee right away.
- Cover with the Mascarpone icing and sprinkle the white chocolate shards in the middle, then place the vanilla cake on top and repeat with the icing and white chocolate.
- Place the last layer of the coffee cake (infuse with 1/4 cup of brewed black coffee) and line with mascarpone icing again and then take a piping bag, fill it up with the remaining icing and decorate with dollops of icing on top of the cake. Sprinkle the cocoa powder on top using a small sieve.
- Refrigerate before you eat!
Let’s make something together.
