Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1⅛ cups (225g) white sugar
- 1½ cups (171g) cake flour, sifted
- ¼ cup (45g) vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons (36g) milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 16 oz (455g) mascarpone cheese
- ¼ cup amaretto

- ¼ cup (50g) white sugar
- 2 cups (476g) heavy cream
- 6 shots espresso (180ml)
- ⅓ cup amaretto
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a heatproof bowl over a double boiler, whisk eggs and sugar until dissolved for about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer; beat on high for 5 minutes until pale and doubled in volume.
- Continue to whip on the lowest speed for an additional 10 minutes.
- Sift flour twice and set aside. In another bowl, mix oil, milk, and vanilla.
- Fold sifted flour into the egg mixture carefully.
- Mix a scoop of batter with wet ingredients for lighter consistency, then fold it back into the main batter.
- Divide and bake the batter for 20-25 minutes until springy to touch.
- Cool cakes upside down on a wire rack.
- For the Mascarpone Cream, whisk yolks and sugar over a double boiler until light.
- Whip mascarpone and amaretto until smooth; then add yolk mixture and whip until blended.
- Whip heavy cream to medium peaks and fold into the mascarpone mixture.
- Combine espresso and amaretto in a bowl for soaking.
- Cut each cake layer in half. Brush with coffee soak, add mascarpone cream, and repeat with all layers.
- Chill for at least 4 hours, dust with cocoa powder, and decorate with remaining mascarpone before serving.
