Ingredients

2 eggs
90 g sugar
60 ml sunflower oil
50 ml milk
1 tsp liquid vanilla
1 pinch of salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
120 g flour
250 g mascarpone cheese
200 g whole whipping cream (30% fat)
3 tbsp icing sugar
1 tsp liquid vanilla
Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Directions

Preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F). In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, sunflower oil, and milk. Add the vanilla, salt, baking powder, and flour. Mix until you achieve a smooth batter. Pour the batter into a greased or parchment-lined baking pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
In a separate bowl, combine the mascarpone, whipping cream, icing sugar, and vanilla. Beat the mixture with a hand mixer until it forms stiff peaks.
Spread the cream evenly over the cooled cake. Dust the surface generously with cocoa powder using a fine sieve.
Slice the cake into portions, serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy this creamy, cocoa-dusted delight!
