Chocolate and Mascarpone Cake

Hello food lovers!

I think you’re getting it now: mascarpone is my best Italian friend! I could add it in almost any kind of dish or dessert that I make!

So why not with chocolate? Hell yay! Here is my chocolate and mascarpone cake!

You have warmly plebiscited the apple and mascarpone cake, it’s the most frequently read recipe on the blog, far ahead any other.

A while ago I told myself that this recipe was so good that making a variation of it couldn’t be a bad idea…

I just had to define the variation… Honestly, I didn’t think about it very long… I really really really love chocolate… So I created the little brother (or little sister if you prefer) of my apple and mascarpone cake.

My expectations were very high while making this recipe. Will the cake be as soft and moist than the initial one? Will I be able to keep it a few days and still enjoy it as if it was freshly baked? Will I have a smile on my face when eating it? Yes, yes and yes again…

Huge success!!

Verdict from the kids (my most ferocious critics 😉 ) : mmm… so delish!

So, I just had to write the recipe down and suggest it to you. Now, I just have to wait for your feedback!!

No specific ingredient for this recipe. I took my Gruau d’Or flour as always… Let me just make a comment at this point : having a flour with baking powder inside isn’t a good idea here. This recipe requires more baking powder than your usual cake recipes.
