Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
- Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, combine the coffee and coffee liqueur. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and 1 tablespoon of the coffee mixture until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
- To assemble the cake, place one layer on a serving platter. Brush with half of the remaining coffee mixture.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the cake layer. Top with the second cake layer and repeat with the coffee mixture and mascarpone topping.
- Dust the top of the cake with cocoa powder before serving.
