Mascarpone Cake with Raspberry Cream

Mascarpone Cake, a moist Italian Cake perfect on it’s own or served with a fresh Raspberry Cream sauce.  An easy and delicious Dessert recipe.

Mascarpone Cake

Last year for father’s day we gave the Italian a couple of Raspberry bushes and raspberries they are producing.  So I decided to make a moist Mascarpone Cake and serve it with a creamy Raspberry Topping.

To tell the truth I really wanted a thicker cream but as it turned out this Raspberry Cream was really good.  If you want a thicker sauce then just add less raspberries.

This month for my little get together with my three blogger friends they decided to celebrate my coming release of my “Authentic Italian Desserts” Cookbook by sharing Cake Recipes.  Thanks so much everyone!

And I thought this Simple Mascarpone Cake would be the perfect way to celebrate.

How to make Italian Mascarpone Cake

• Beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in mascarpone, vanilla and oil.
• Add flour and baking powder and beat until smooth.
• Pour into prepared cake pan and Bake.
• Fast and easy makes the perfect cake!

What is Mascarpone Cheese?

Mascarpone is a cheese made from the processing of cream and citric acid (for example lemon juice), only two ingredients to make this creamy delicious cheese.  Mascarpone originated from the Region of Lombardy, which is in the North of Italy.

I love it and I try to use it as much as possible in my desserts.  I find the taste more delicate and tastier than cream cheese.
