- 1 package baking powder
- 1 tsp. Vanilla extract
For the syrup:
- 2 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp. Fresh lemon juice
For the filling:
- 2 package whipping cream
- 1 cup cold milk
- 4 tbsp. Mascarpone cheese
Instructions
- Both syrup and cake will be cold for this dessert.
- Start by making your syrup.
- Boil your 2 1/2 cup sugar, 2 1/2 cup water for about 5 minutes. Add your 1 tsp. Fresh lemon juice and let your syrup cool down.
- Put your 2 package whipping cream, 1 cup cold milk in a container and whip it with your hand mixer until it is ready. Add your 4 tbsp. Mascarpone cheese and whip a little more. Put your whipping cream to the fridge to cool down.
- Put your oven to 180°C (356°F)
- Add your 5 egg (room temperature), 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tsp. Vanilla extract in a container and whip it with your hand mixer until it gets creamy.
- Add your 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour, 1 package baking powder to your egg mixture and mix it until it combines.
- Pour your cake butter in a round clamp cake mold and bake your cake for about 25 minutes.
- Take your baked cake from the oven. Cover it with a towel when it starts to warm out and wait until it cools down.
- When your cake gets cold separate it in two pieces from the middle.
- Put bottom piece of your cake into your clamp cake mold.
- Pour the half of your syrup to bottom piece of your cake.
- Spread your whipping cream onto your cake.
- Slice the top piece of your cake into 8 pieces and put them carefully onto your cream mixture. (Slicing the cake before will prevent the cream to be scattered while serving your dessert.)

This looks delicious! What are the measurements for the baking flour and the whipping cream?
Hello Rebekah,
Sorry for my late reply.
Thank you very much for trying my recipe.
You can find all the measurements in the ingredient list.
I hope you enjoy!
I wish you had answered the question. In the US, I don’t use packages of baking powder or whipping cream.
Your recipe looks delicious!
Dear Della,
I’m so sorry for the inconvenience. I never saw your comment. Please be informed that referred 1 package of baking powder is 10 gr. (1 1/2 teaspoon) You can find whipped cream in bottle to my knowledges but if you can’t, you can whip 200 ml. full fat heavy cream with 1/2 cup powdered sugar to make a tasty whipping cream.
I hope this would be helpful to you.
When you say 1 “package” baking powder and 2 “package” whipping cream, what is the measurement of a “package” in U.S. conversion? Many thanks.
