BAKE!

  • Bake for 15 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your cake from 12 minutes). It is ready when the toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Once your almond cakes are out of the oven, let them cool down for 15 minutes before demolding onto a cooling rack. NOTE: If you are making them a day ahead, simply wrap them in plastic and store in the refrigerator.

VANILLA BEAN MASCARPONE FROSTING

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, until smooth on medium speed for about 1 minute. Add the almond extract and vanilla bean paste, continue beating for about 30 seconds on medium speed.
  • Then, add the powdered sugar a little at a time. Beat until light and fluffy for about 2 minutes. Scrape the sides if necessary.
    • Save
  • Add the heavy cream a splash at a time while beating on Medium High Speed until light and fluffy (no more than 3 minutes). IMPORTANT: Do not over mix!
    • Save
  • Fill your Pastry Bag with your vanilla bean mascarpone frosting and refrigerate the extra in the mixing bowl. 

ASSEMBLY (OPTION 1)

  • Place Cake #1 on top of your service plate, then spoon a tin layer of frosting. Repeat this step for cake #2 and cake #3. Fill the gaps in between with the cream and spread some on top. Refrigerate for about two hours to allow the cream to cool down and the cake to keep a good temperature before putting your burn-away cake together.
