Preparation Steps
1
Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler, then let it cool to room temperature.
2
Cream the eggs and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then gradually add the melted chocolate.
3
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder, then gently fold into the chocolate mixture.
4
Pour the batter into a greased and floured cake pan, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 35-40 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
5
While the cake is cooling, prepare the mascarpone cream: whisk together the mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
6
Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture until light and creamy.
7
Cut the cooled cake in half horizontally, and fill with the mascarpone cream. Frost the top with the remaining cream, and smooth it out.
8
Garnish the cake with grated chocolate, cocoa powder, or fresh fruit for added visual appeal.
9
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set.
