Instructions
Sponge
Preheat the oven to 160c 140c Fan Gas Mark 3. Place the sponge mix, 200g of the water and 50g of the vegetable oil in a clean mixing bowl and mix on a slow speed for 1 minute.
Scrape down the sides and then beat for 4 minutes on medium speed, add the remains 87g of water, scrape down the sides and mix again on a slow speed for 2 minutes.
Using a square brown tin, grease and line and then pour in the cake mix and spread out evenly. Bake in the oven for 35-40 mins until golden and baked through.
Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins then place on a cooling rack to cool fully. Set aside.
Filling
Make the coffee and leave to cool
Place the egg yolks and the icing sugar in a heatproof bowl and whisk together until fully combined, place over a pan of simmering boiling water and whisk until its lighter in colour and has thickened. Take off the heat and leave to cool slightly so its just warm.
In a clean bowl add the mascarpone and whisk this until its loose and smooth. Add the egg yolk mix and whisk together.
In the mixing bowl whisk the double cream until stiff peaks then fold this into the mascarpone mix, fold it in until everything has come together.
Assembly
Take the sponge and cut into 3 layers with a sharp knife ( I use a bread knife )
Then take the Brownie tin that you baked in and clean, place the first layer of sponge in the tray and then using a pastry brush dip in the coffee and keep brushing the sponge layer so it absorbs it but doesn’t over fill.
Now take a third of the mascarpone mix and spread over the top of the sponge. Repeat with the next two sponge layers. You should end with the mascarpone filling on the top. Coat with a sprinkling of cocoa powder mixed with the icing sugar.
Serve by slicing into 9, keep refrigerated and eat within 3 days.
