Instructions
Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour four 8-inch cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- Mix the brewed coffee with the coffee liqueur and set aside.
- In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
- Gradually add the boiling water and the coffee mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Make the Mascarpone Filling and Frosting:
- In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
Assemble the Cake:
- Place one layer of cake on your serving platter.
- Brush the top with the coffee mixture.
- Spread a layer of the mascarpone frosting over the cake.
- Add the next layer of cake and repeat the process with the coffee mixture and mascarpone frosting until all layers are stacked.
- Frost the outside of the cake with the remaining mascarpone frosting.
- Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Pipe or spoon dollops of frosting around the top edge of the cake for decoration.
Chill and Serve:
