Number Of Ingredients 17

SPONGE CAKE
6 large eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
COFFEE SYRUP
1/2 cup brewed coffee (very strong)
1/2 cup Kahlua or other coffee liqueur
1/4 cup sugar
MASCARPONE CREAM
2 large eggs
1/3 cup sugar
2 7 3/4-ounce packages (or one 17.5-ounce package) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, grated
Whipped cream

Steps:

  • FOR SPONGE CAKE: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour 10x15x1-inch jelly-roll pan. Line with parchment paper; butter parchment. Whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla in metal bowl set over pan of simmering water until just warm to touch. Remove from over water. Using electric mixer, beat until pale yellow and thick ribbon falls when beaters are lifted, about 6 minutes. Sift 1/2 cup flour over egg mixture; fold in. Repeat with remaining 1/2 cup flour. Add butter; fold in (do not overmix or batter will deflate). Spread batter in pan. Bake until cake is golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in pan. FOR COFFEE SYRUP: Combine all ingredients in heavy medium saucepan and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture is reduced to 3/4 cup, about 4 minutes. FOR MASCARPONE CREAM: Whisk eggs and sugar in medium metal bowl. Set bowl over pan of simmering water (do not allow bowl to touch water) and whisk until mixture is thick and foamy and thermometer registers 160 degrees, about 1 minute. Remove bowl from over water and whisk mixture until cool, about 4 minutes. Whisk mascarpone in large bowl to loosen. Add egg mixture and vanilla to mascarpone; whisk to blend. Invert cake onto waxed-paper-lined work surface. Cut six 2 1/2-inch rounds and six 3-inch rounds from cake using cookie cutters. Place one 2 1/2-inch round in bottom of each of six 3/4-cup ramekins. Brush cake in each ramekin with 1 tablespoon coffee syrup. Top cake in each ramekin with generous 1/3 cup mascarpone cream. Top cream in each ramekin with 3-inch cake round. Brush each cake with 1 tablespoon coffee syrup. Cover with plastic and refrigerate until cold, at least 3 hours or overnight. Top dessert with grated chocolate and whipped cream.
