Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Lightly grease a springform pan with butter.
- Place dark chocolate and butter in top of a double boiler over simmering water.

Whisk egg yolks into the chocolate.

- Bake in the preheated oven until firm, about 20 minutes. Cool for 1 hour.

- Whisk cream, mascarpone cheese, sugar, and salt together in a bowl. Add cocoa powder mixture and melted chocolate. Pour over the first layer. Refrigerate until set, at least 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the top layer. Melt white chocolate in top of a double boiler over simmering water, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Dissolve gelatin powder in water; let stand for 5 minutes. Heat in a double boiler until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix into the melted chocolate.

Steps:
- MAKE THE CAKE: Preheat oven to 350*F.
- Line a 13x9" baking pan with parchment paper; set aside.
- Whip the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer on medium-high speed.
- With the mixer running, drizzle in the vegetable oil, then the vanilla.
- Sift the flour and baking powder together; add to the egg mixture alternately with the milk, mixing after each addition, just until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan; bake until firm and springy to the touch, and a toothpick tests out clean, 35-40 minutes.
- Cool cake in the pan on a wire rack.
- MEANWHILE, MAKE THE TOPPING: Whip the egg yolks and sugar until light and fluffy and the sugar is almost dissolved.
- Add the mascarpone cheese and Sambucca; whip just until stiff and frosting-like, being careful not to overmix.
- (Overmixing may cause the mascarpone to separate.) Chill until ready to use.
- MAKE THE ANISETTE SYRUP: Bring the sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Remove pan from heat and add the Sambucca; set aside to cool slightly.
- Invert the cake; peel off the parchment paper.
- Brush the surface of the cake with the syrup until it is all absorbed.
- Cover with the mascarpone topping, using all the cream.
- Chill, lightly covered, at least 2 hours.
- When ready to serve, sprinkle with the grated chocolate, cut into squares, and serve cold.

Tips:
- To achieve the best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- Make sure the mascarpone cheese is at room temperature before using it. This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients.
- If you don't have anisette liqueur, you can substitute another type of liqueur, such as amaretto or Grand Marnier.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought mascarpone cheese frosting. However, homemade frosting is always best.
Conclusion:
This anisette mascarpone cake is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With its delicate flavor and creamy texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
