Number Of Ingredients 16

CAKE:
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup limoncello or lemon-flavored liqueur
zest and juice of one lemon
white chocolate shavings to garnish
FROSTING:
16-ounces mascarpone cheese, about 2 cups
1 1/4 cups lemon curd
2 cups chilled whipping or heavy cream
2/3 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • CAKE: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 2 (9-inch) round cake pans and line with parchment paper. Grease and flour the parchment paper. Mix the limoncello, lemon juice, and lemon zest together and set aside. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined and set aside. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Add flour alternately with buttermilk and limoncello mixture. Bake cakes for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely in pans. Once cool, remove from pans. Place the first layer on serving plate. Frost top with 1/3 frosting. Place the second layer on top. Frost with half of the frosting. Use remaining frosting to frost the sides of the cake and decorate the top with optional white chocolate shavings. FROSTING: Cream together mascarpone cheese and lemon curd. Whip cream to medium peaks (about the same texture as thawed Cool Whip, stiffer than soft peaks), then slowly add the powdered sugar to the whipped cream until it's fully incorporated. Fold cheese mixture into whipped cream and mix until completely combined.

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
4 ounces mascarpone cheese
2 ounces cream cheese
1/8 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons powdered sugar

Tips for Making Limoncello Mascarpone Mousse Cake:

  • Use good quality ingredients: Fresh lemons, mascarpone cheese, and whipping cream will make a big difference in the taste of your cake.
  • Make sure the mascarpone cheese is cold before you start making the mousse. This will help it whip up more easily and smoothly.
  • Don't over-whip the cream. If you whip it too much, it will become grainy and lose its light and fluffy texture.
  • Chill the cake for at least 4 hours before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the cake to set properly.
