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.

cooking spray
1 cup plain yogurt
2 eggs
⅓ cup canola oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons lemon zest
1 cup sugar
¼ cup limoncello liqueur
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons limoncello liqueur

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare an 8-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the yogurt, eggs, canola oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, and 4 tablespoons limoncello in a large bowl. In a separate large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet. Do not over mix or the cake will be tough. Pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
  • Stir the powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of limoncello together in a small bowl until smooth. Poke small holes all over the top of the still-warm cake with a fork or toothpick. Spoon the glaze over the cake and spread with the back of a spoon. The glaze will seep into the cake and add moisture.

### Tips - **Use a high-quality limoncello.** The flavor of the cake will be greatly affected by the quality of the limoncello you use. Choose a limoncello that is made with real lemons and has a good balance of sweetness and tartness. - **Don't overmix the batter.** Overmixing the batter can result in a tough cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined. - **Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.** This will ensure that the cake is cooked through. - **Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.** This will help to prevent the frosting from melting. - **Serve the cake chilled.** This will help to enhance the flavor of the limoncello. ### Conclusion Limoncello cake with mascarpone frosting is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the frosting is light and creamy. If you are looking for a unique and delicious dessert, this cake is definitely worth trying.
