Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 19

For cake
2/3 cup chilled buttermilk
1 large chilled egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups cake flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
For filling
5 medium plums, pitted, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 large peaches, pitted, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 1/2-pint basket raspberries
1/3 cup sugar
1 8-ounce container chilled mascarpone cheese, or one 8-ounce package cream cheese at room temperature
1 cup chilled whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Make cake:
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F. Whisk buttermilk, egg and vanilla extract in medium bowl to blend; transfer 1 tablespoon mixture to small bowl and reserve for glaze. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into large bowl; add butter. Using electric mixer, beat until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 3 minutes. Add buttermilk mixture and blend just until soft moist dough forms. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Using floured hands, gather dough into ball and knead gently for 6 turns. Transfer dough to ungreased baking sheet. Shape dough into 8-inch round. Brush top with reserved 1 tablespoon buttermilk mixture. Bake cake until top is golden brown and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Transfer cake to rack and cool completely.
  • Make filling:
  • Toss plums, peaches, raspberries and 1/3 cup sugar in large bowl to blend. Let stand 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, beat mascarpone, whipping cream, 1/4 cup powdered sugar and vanilla in large bowl until firm peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Cut off top 1/3 of cake. Using small knife and leaving 1/2-inch border at edge, cut out enough of cake bottom to form 1/2-inch-deep indentation. Spread half of mascarpone cream in indentation. Using slotted spoon, remove fruit from bowl; mound onto cream. Reserve fruit juices in bowl. Spread remaining mascarpone cream over fruit. Cover with top of cake. Refrigerate cake and reserved juices separately, at least 3 hours and up to 6 hours.
  • Let cake stand at room temperature 30 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar. Cut into wedges. Drizzle with reserved fruit juices and serve.

This was a good recipe, but I think it could have been better if I had used fresh fruit instead of frozen.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The shortcakes were light and fluffy, and the mascarpone filling was creamy and delicious. I used a mix of berries and peaches for the fruit, and it was perfect.
