Number Of Ingredients 18

For cake
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, softened
5 cups confectioners' sugar
1 vanilla bean
4 large whole eggs
2 large egg yolks
2 cups bread flour
1 cup cornmeal
For compote
3 1/2 cups blackberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar, or to taste
1/4 cup grappa
For mascarpone cream
1/2 cup mascarpone* cheese
1 cup heavy cream
3 tablespoons granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Make cake:
  • Preheat oven to 325° F. and butter and flour a 12-inch round cake pan.
  • In a bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Split vanilla bean lengthwise. Scrape seeds from pod and add to butter mixture. Beat in whole eggs and egg yolks 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, and fold in flour and cornmeal.

  • Pour compote over cake. Let pudding stand, loosely covered, at room temperature at least 6 hours and up to 1 day.
  • Make mascarpone cream:
  • In a bowl with an electric mixer beat mascarpone until light and fluffy. Add cream and granulated sugar and beat mixture until it holds soft peaks.
  • Garnish pudding with blackberries and serve with mascarpone cream.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still a good dessert.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. The only thing I would change is to use a little less sugar in the compote.

I'm not a big fan of polenta, but this dish was surprisingly good. The sweetness of the berries and the creaminess of the mascarpone balanced out the polenta perfectly.
