  5. Slowly add it to the egg mixture
  6. Pour it into a greased 8×8 pan
  7. Bake it for 45-50 min

After the cake is done, let it cool and start making the mascarpone filling.

  • 1/2 cup sweetener
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  3. In a clean bowl beat egg whites until stiff
  4. Gradually fold the egg withes into the yolk mixture
  5. Mix the coffee and rom aroma

  8. Top it with the second coffee dipped cake layer
  9. Spread with remaining cream
