Instant coffee granules are dehydrated brewed coffee and will fully dissolve in the cake. Traditional ground coffee is ground-up coffee beans that won&#8217;t dissolve.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be sure your baking soda is fresh. Old baking soda will result in a cake that doesn&#8217;t rise enough or at all. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mix your cake batter ingredients until just combined to avoid excess gluten and a tough cake. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To ensure your cake doesn&#8217;t break as you remove it from the pan, run a knife along its edge between the cake and the pan. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fully cool your cake before frosting. Otherwise, the frosting will thin as soon as it comes into contact with the warm cake. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stop beating your frosting as soon as medium-stiff peaks form. Overmixing can result in curdled frosting due to the friction of the mixing attachment. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"825\" data-pin-title=\"Chocolate Cake with Mocha Mascarpone Frosting\" data-pin-description=\"Chocolate Cake with Mocha Mascarpone Frosting is absolutely delicious with a light and creamy mocha frosting.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greatgrubdelicioustreats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/PANA2822..jpg\" alt=\"A piece of cake on a white plate with a bite taken out.\" class=\"wp-image-24443\" title=\"Chocolate Cake with Mocha Mascarpone Frosting is a two layer chocolate espresso cake with the best homemade mascarpone frosting.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greatgrubdelicioustreats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/PANA2822..jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.greatgrubdelicioustreats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/PANA2822.-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 id=\"chocolate-cake-with-mocha-mascarpone-frosting-faq\"   class=\"wp-block-heading\" >Chocolate Cake with Mocha Mascarpone Frosting FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1757160235841\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why is mascarpone used in frosting?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Mascarpone is often used in frosting for its mild sweetness and light, fluffy texture, similar to that of whipped cream.

Instant coffee granules are dehydrated brewed coffee and will fully dissolve in the cake. Traditional ground coffee is ground-up coffee beans that won&#8217;t dissolve.<\/li>\n<li>Be sure your baking soda is fresh. Old baking soda will result in a cake that doesn&#8217;t rise enough or at all.<\/li>\n<li>Mix your cake batter ingredients until just combined to avoid excess gluten and a tough cake.<\/li>\n<li>To ensure your cake doesn&#8217;t break as you remove it from the pan, run a knife along its edge between the cake and the pan.<\/li>\n<li>Fully cool your cake before frosting. Otherwise, the frosting will thin as soon as it comes into contact with the warm cake.<\/li>\n<li>Stop beating your frosting as soon as medium-stiff peaks form. Overmixing can result in curdled frosting due to the friction of the mixing attachment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><!-- \/wp:list-item --><\/ul>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><!--
