• 1 and 3/4 cups (350g) granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup (75g) cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk
• 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

For the Mascarpone Filling and Frosting:

• 1 and 1/2 cups (360ml) heavy cream
• 1 cup (240g) mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

For Decoration:

• Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

Prepare the Cake:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour four 8-inch cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
• Mix the brewed coffee with the coffee liqueur and set aside.
• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until combined.
• Gradually add the boiling water and the coffee mixture, stirring until the batter is smooth.
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
• Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.

Make the Mascarpone Filling and Frosting:

• In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
• In another bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

Assemble the Cake:

• Place one layer of cake on your serving platter.
• Brush the top with the coffee mixture.
• Spread a layer of the mascarpone frosting over the cake.
• Add the next layer of cake and repeat the process with the coffee mixture and mascarpone frosting until all layers are stacked.
• Frost the outside of the cake with the remaining mascarpone frosting.
• Dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder.
• Pipe or spoon dollops of frosting around the top edge of the cake for decoration.

Chill and Serve:

• Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to set the frosting.
• Slice and serve chilled.
