Method
Summer Berry Cake
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Prepare an 8″ cake pan with 1 tbsp Wesson Vegetable Oil and parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Add the instant coffee to the warm water and mix until the instant coffee has dissolved.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients gradually, mixing between each addition.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely.
Mascarpone Buttercream
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the mascarpone and butter. Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla and beat on low speed. Add powdered sugar one cup at a time and continue to mix until well incorporated.
Assembly Method
Once the cake has cooled completely, ice the cake to your liking with the mascarpone buttercream. Top with your favorite berries and enjoy!
