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
Mascarpone CakeLast 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.

Whether you make this cake with or without Raspberry Cream or substitute another type of cream, whether you serve it for dessert or have a slice with a cup of coffee or tea, I hope you enjoy it! Enjoy.

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
Rosemary says
Hi Lizzie, if you have an 8 inch cake pan that would work also. Let me know how it goes.

Rosemary says
Hi Betty, thanks glad everyone enjoyed it. Have a great weekend.
Dorothy says
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.
Rosemary says
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.
