Fresh Strawberry Mascarpone Cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
The secret to a great sponge cake is air: millions of bubbles beaten into the eggs expand in the oven, making the cake tall and light. Mascarpone makes for a brilliant frosting because it's more stable than plain whipped cream, ensuring your cake holds its shape.

Instructions

1 ✓

Beat the eggs and sugar until pale and thick (ribbon stage).

Tip: Ribbon stage: when you lift the whisk, the batter should fall in a ribbon that holds its shape for a moment.
2 ✓

Drizzle in the melted butter and vanilla, then gently fold in the flour mixed with baking powder.

Tip: Do not overmix, or you will deflate the air you just whipped in!
3 ✓

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 25-30 minutes (test with a toothpick). Cool on a wire rack.

Tip: If you cut it while hot, it will crumble.
4 ✓

For the frosting, whip the cold heavy cream, then whisk it together with the mascarpone and powdered sugar until smooth.

Tip: The cream must be ice cold to whip properly.
5 ✓

Slice the cake horizontally in half. Fill with cream and strawberries, then frost the outside.

Tip: Chill before serving to firm up the cream.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the center of the sponge collapse?
You likely opened the oven door too early. The sudden temperature drop caused the unstable air bubbles to collapse.
