How to Make Chocolate Berries Cake With Mascarpone
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
- Cream together 170g softened butter, 200g granulated sugar, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy.
- Add 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 250g all-purpose flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 50g unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan. Pour in the batter and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before inverting it onto a wire rack.
- While the cake cools, prepare the mascarpone cream: In a bowl, beat together 250g mascarpone cheese, 125g quark cheese (or cream cheese), 75g powdered sugar, and 1 tbsp lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cake is completely cool, spread the mascarpone cream evenly over the top.
- Prepare the glaze according to package directions (typically involving a combination of glaze powder and liquid, potentially adding extra sugar to taste).
- Heat the glaze as directed on the package.
- Let the glaze cool for 5 minutes before using.
- Top the cake with your favorite fresh berries (e.g., raspberries, blueberries, strawberries). Spoon or brush the glaze over the berries.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the glaze to set.
- Cut into slices and serve. Enjoy!
