Notes

  • Refrigerate before serving - refrigerate the cake for a few hours or overnight for the best flavor and texture. It allows the flavors to meld and the filling to set.
  • Room temperature ingredients - bring your mascarpone and eggs to room temperature before using them, as it can result in a smoother batter and a better-textured cake.
  • Refrain from overmixing - overmixing can lead to a dense cake.
