Chocolate mascarpone cake

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Melt the chocolate and butter in a water bath, leave to cool

2. STEP 2

   

   Mix two eggs with 50 gr. sugar, add mascarpone cheese

3. STEP 3

   

   Combine until smooth

4. STEP 4

   

   For the dough, beat 3 eggs with 150 gr. sugar with a mixer at high speed until a dense mass is obtained (8-10 minutes)

5. STEP 5

   

   Reducing the mixer speed to medium, pour in the warm chocolate mixture in a thin stream, stirring until smooth. Set aside the mixer. Add sifted flour and baking powder in small portions, stirring gently with a spoon.

6. STEP 6

   

   Grease a mold with a diameter of 24-26 cm, dust it lightly with flour, pour in half the dough, smooth it out. It’s better to take a springform pan, but I don’t have one with a suitable diameter.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the filling

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour in the remaining dough, spreading it evenly over the surface of the filling.

9. STEP 9

   

   Bake in a preheated oven at t - 180` for about an hour. Check readiness with a wooden skewer; it should fit easily into the pie, remaining dry. When it cools down a little, you can coat it with powdered sugar.

10. STEP 10

    

    All that remains is to cut into pieces and serve
