#13 of 2020 - Italian Marble Cake, 3/22/20




I still had mascarpone left from the Q cheesecake so I googled some recipes and found this one. Couldn't let it go to waste - that's for sure.
No food left behind during Covid lol

The recipe calls for an icing but we ate it plain and it was just fine. It didn't last long at all. 



Ingredients

MARBLE CAKE


  • eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone (remove from fridge 30 minutes before using)
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted and slightly cooled)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 3/4 cups + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • pinch salt
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa
  • 1 cup milk
  • * I added 1 teaspoon of espresso powder with the cocoa because I have it on hand. 

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 9 inch bundt pan.

MARBLE CAKE

  • In a large bowl beat on medium speed eggs and sugar until light and creamy for 5 minutes, then add the mascarpone and beat, then add the melted (cooled) butter and vanilla, combine well.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Add the flour mixture alternately with the milk to the creamed mixture.  Beat until smooth.
  • Pour 2/3 of the mixture into prepared pan. With the remaining 1/3- stir in the cocoa (and in my case espresso powder) and pour over the top of the batter, swirl slightly with the tip of a knife,  bake for approximately 40-50 minutes, check with toothpick to ensure cake is cooked through.
