Ingredients
For the cake
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup coffee liqueur (optional) Use for enhanced flavor, omit for non-alcoholic version.
- 1 package 14 ounces store-bought chocolate cake (or homemade cake) To save time, store-bought cake is recommended.
For the filling
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese Ensure at room temperature for easy mixing.
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar Adjust amount for desired sweetness.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- to taste Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) if making a homemade cake. Bake the chocolate cake according to package instructions or your own recipe. Let it cool completely.
- In a bowl, mix the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until fully combined.
Assembly
- Once the cake is cool, carefully unroll it (if it is rolled), or slice it into strips. Brush the coffee mixture over the cake.
- Spread a layer of the mascarpone mixture over the cake. Roll the cake back up (if rolled) or layer the strips to create the log shape.
- Place the cake on a serving platter. Frost the outside with the remaining mascarpone mixture.
- Dust with cocoa powder and decorate with chocolate shavings.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
This dessert can last about 3-4 days in the refrigerator. For longer storage, freeze individual slices and thaw in the fridge before serving.
