7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.

8. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Let the cake cool completely before adding the mascarpone layer.

2. Prepare the Mascarpone Filling (Optional but delicious!)

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
