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.

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.

    Very good cake. Since it is just my wife and I at home, I cut the recipe in half and used a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. I only had espresso flavored mascarpone cheese which I bought for only a $1 nearing the expiration date and had to use it up quickly. I tried it in this recipe. I added only a little of the oil since I used two eggs whereas the recipe only calls for 1-1/2 eggs for a half cake. It worked perfectly. Took about 30 minutes to bake. Nice flavor. I have some fresh strawberries to add later on tonight. My Japanese wife likes it a lot. Just the right amount of sweetness for her. She doesn’t like overly sweet desserts. By the way, the espresso flavor in the mascarpone was hardly noticeable.

      Hi Jim and Yuka, thanks so much, so glad you liked the cake. Yes Italians aren’t big on overly sweet cakes either. Take care and have a great week.

    Fabulous cake! So quick, easy and no fuss! Especially as I didn’t even have butter in the house. It was an excellent way to use a tub of mascarpone that I had in the fridge. Thanks Rosemary.

    Hello Rosemary
    I am anxious to make the mascarpone cake during shelter in place. Unfortunately, I do not have a cake ring baking pan. Do you have any other suggestions so I can make this cake? If not, what size ring should I order online?
    Ciao and grazie
    Lizzie

    What kind of cake pan do you use? It seems like a very large opening in the center. Therefore making the cake look more like a ring cake. Looks great and delicious.

      Hi Dorothy, yes it is called a ring cake pan, they are so cheap in Italy, so I have a few. I find round cake pans a little boring to photograph 🙂 although they work too. Have a great week.
