Method

Cake

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Cream Butter and Sugar

    In another bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Add Eggs and Vanilla

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. 5

    Combine and Add Limoncello

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk and limoncello, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

  6. 6

    Bake the Cake

    Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. 7

    Cool the Cake

    Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Mascarpone Filling

  1. 8

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar, and mix until smooth.

  2. 9

    Add Flavors

    Add the limoncello liqueur, heavy cream, and lemon zest to the mascarpone mixture. Whip until the mixture is thick and holds stiff peaks.

Lemon Syrup

  1. 10

    Make the Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.

  2. 11

    Add Lemon Juice and Limoncello

    Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and limoncello liqueur. Allow to cool.

Assembly and Garnish

  1. 12

    Assemble the Cake

    Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Drizzle with lemon syrup, then spread half of the mascarpone filling over the top.

  2. 13

    Layer the Second Cake

    Place the second cake layer on top, drizzle with more lemon syrup, and spread the remaining mascarpone filling on top.

  3. 14

    Garnish

    Decorate the top with lemon slices and fresh mint leaves.
