Hi Kristen! Sorry to hear you had trouble with the frosting. Mascarpone can be tricky to work with.

The frosting is awful to work with! I saw another recipe that beat the powdered sugar with butter first, then incorporate the mascarpone. That may work better. Very stressful the way the recipe is written. Lots of work to get it to the right consistency.

Hi Allyson! I don’t use all of the soak. I just put enough on the layers to cover them but not drench them. And yes, I would use speed 5 or so. There is no way I’ve found to save it after. You can also try adding the mascarpone at the end. So you can whip the butter and sugar on a higher speed and not worry about it and then add the mascarpone at the end on lower.

Your site is the first I check when looking for a new cake flavor! I have a couple questions – do you use all of the coffee soak on the cake layers or did you have any left over? Also, when making the mascarpone buttercream, did you use like a medium speed when beating (I have a kitchen aid, so like 5?) And if we do happen to overbeat it, is there any way to save it?

Hi Laurie! Yes, but I would recommend scaling the recipe up. Converting pan sizes is always tricky. Here are some sites I use as a guideline:

Hi Sandra! Yes you can make it in advance. Keep in the fridge overnight. And yes you can use expresso instead of powder. You just want a sweet coffee flavoured syrup.

Could I assemble the cake tonight for tomorrow? Also could I replace espresso powder with espresso. So bring 1/2 cup of espresso and sugar to a boil?
Thank you

Hi Jenna! 1 cup of mascarpone weighs about 225g, which is 8oz.

Are you using the weight of the mascarpone or the weight of normal 8 oz = 1 cup?
