Faq

  • How can I prevent my cake from sticking to the pan?

    Always use parchment paper to line your pan, and make sure the batter is spread evenly to avoid any sticking.

  • Can I prepare the batter in advance?

    Yes, you can! Just be sure to store it in an airtight container in the fridge and reach room temperature before baking.

  • How do I know when the cake layers are cooked?

    The layers should be golden and firm to touch. You can also use a toothpick test: insert it into the center, and if it comes out clean, it's done!

  • What’s the best way to slice the cake for serving?

    Use a sharp, non-serrated knife and wipe it clean between slices to ensure clean, professional-looking cuts.

  • Can I substitute mascarpone with regular cream cheese?

    Absolutely! While mascarpone adds a richer flavor, cream cheese can be used as a more tangy alternative.

  • How can I add extra flavor to the cake?

    Consider adding vanilla extract to the batter or a teaspoon of coffee to the cream for enhanced depth of flavor.
