Ingredients
  

For the Italian Sponge Cake

  • 5 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

CREAM FILLING

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 egg**
  • 2 tbs mascarpone Cheese
  • 1 cup coffee (more if desired) (I use espresso, but a good strong coffee will do I'm sure)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350°. Grease a 9 inch (24 cm) springform cake pan.

ITALIAN SPONGE CAKE

  • Beat on medium-low speed the eggs and sugar until well mixed (2 minutes) add flour and baking powder and continue to beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes or until smooth. Pour into greased cake pan and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until tested done. Let cool, then slice into 3 layers. While cake bakes make the coffee and let cool.
  • While cake cools, beat together sugar and eggs till frothy, then add the mascarpone and cream, beat until thick.
  • Place 1 layer of cake (sliced side up) on a large plate and spoon 1/3 of the coffee on top, cover with 1/3 of the cream mixture and repeat with the remaining layers. Frost the cake with the remaining cream filling. Sprinkle with unsweetened cocoa or sprinkle with chocolate flakes or chips. Enjoy!
  • **I use a small sieve to sprinkle the cocoa on top of the cake. *In the cream filling, for the replacement of raw eggs, you can try using a product called Egg Replacer or there are now pasteurized egg products and pasteurized eggs available or if you wish eliminate the egg.
