Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
For the icing:
- 1 1/2 cups strong hot coffee brewed
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese room temperature
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping
- unsweetened cocoa to taste
- chocolate curls to taste
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease and flour a half sheet pan.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the cake mix, the water, the milk, the oil, and the eggs and beat them together with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined, about 2-3 minutes.
- Evenly spread the cake batter onto the prepared sheet. Lightly tap the bottom of the sheet pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake the cake until it is golden-brown on top and lightly springs back when touched, about 15 minutes.
- Combine the hot coffee and the sugar and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Carefully transfer the cake from oven, and while it is still hot, use a large fork or skewer and poke holes all throughout the surface of the cake.
- Pour the hot coffee syrup mixture over the cake.
- Allow the cake to soak and cool to room temperature.
- In another bowl, beat the mascarpone, the cream cheese, the sour cream, the vanilla extract, and the powdered sugar together.
- Fold the whipped topping into the frosting mixture.
- Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.
- Sift the cocoa over the top of the cake and sprinkle with the chocolate curls.
- Refrigerate the cake until it's time to serve.
- Slice and serve.
