Wondering what kind of desserts and sweet treats satisfy your sweet tooth? You are in the right place: this Italian Berry Mascarpone Cake will make a huge impression if you’re seeking a quick and easy cake recipe.

Anything with fluffy mascarpone cream is one of my favorite winter treats. Mascarpone and berry desserts are always a cult favorite, from Bosco Nevoso to a stunning Dark Cherry Jelly and Mascarpone Cream in a Fried Sponge Cake.

Cakes are a manifestation of happiness and focus. A slice of dessert puts you in a good mood immediately, but it’s also a beautiful sign of togetherness because there’s nothing more pleasant than sitting in a pastry shop with friends and chatting the latest news over a slice of dessert.

How to Make the Best Italian Berry Mascarpone Cake

This Italian Mascarpone Cake is layered with a homemade moist pistachio sponge cake, a delicious berry filling, and mascarpone whipped cream.

I started with the sponge cake recipe. The sponge cake is easy to make; the key is to use room temperature eggs that have been whisked for at least 15 minutes using an electric whisk or a planetary mixer.

Add the chopped pistachios and stir everything together once more.

Pour the batter into a cake pan (~10 inches) that has been buttered and floured, and bake for 20-25 minutes at 180°C (356°F) without opening the oven door.

When the cake is done, take it out of the oven and let it cool completely.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the sugar and cleaned berries. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once the syrup has reached a boil, remove it from the heat and let the fruit infuse until the syrup is cold or slightly warm.

In order to make the Mascarpone Cream, in a mixer, beat the egg yolks and sugar at a high speed until the mixture is light and smooth.

While the mixer is running, gradually add the mascarpone cheese with the eggs, mixing thoroughly to avoid lumps.

Whip the egg whites in a separate basin, then fold them into the mascarpone cream mixture with a spatula in a top-to-bottom motion until smooth.

Cut the sponge cake into two equally thick discs.

Spread half of the mascarpone cream on one of the sponge cake discs that have been soaked in blood orange syrup, add the berries puree on top, and cover with the second disc. Glaze with the remaining mascarpone cream and decorate to your liking.

      Hi Mark,
      I appreciate you pointing out the typo; the butter is used to grease the pan.
      Thanks

      Hi Aurajoy,
      I recommend removing the mascarpone from the refrigerator 20 minutes before using it.
      Thanks
