for the coffee dip
1 cups (240 cc) Italian espresso coffee
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup (60 cc) coffee liquor (i.e. Kalua)

for the mascarpone cream  filling
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup (100 gr) sugar
1/2 cup (120 cc) Marsala wine (if not available substitute with other sweet wine like port or Madeira)
1 lb (450 gr) mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
1 1/2 cup (360 cc) heavy whipping cream
1 oz (30 gr) semi-sweet chocolate

for the decoration
2 tablespoons bitter cocoa powder
semi-sweet chocolate shavings

Cut the sponge cake in slices about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick. Trim the short edges of the cake slices to make them even.

Line the inside of a approximately 7 inch (18 cm) bowl with the cake slices.

Dissolve the sugar in the espresso coffee. Combine the coffee liquor. Brush the cake slices with the coffee mix.

You can line the bowl with plastic wrap to facilitate the removal of the cake from the bowl before serving.

Trim the excess portion of the sponge cake.

Cut the slices in wedges, if necessary . . . .

. . . . to uniformly cover the surface of the bowl in a geometrical  design.

Fill the cake with the rest of the mascarpone cream until completely full. Cover the cake with the remaining sponge cake slices.
Brush on the remaining coffee mix.

Prepare the mascarpone cream for the filling as indicated in this recipe.

Shave about 1 oz (30 gr) chocolate and combine into the mascarpone cream.

Transfer about half of the mascarpone cream mixture into the cake. Top with a layer of sponge cake and brush with the coffee mix.

Seal tightly with plastic wrap  and place in the refrigerator for at least 3 – 4 hours.

Before serving turn the cake upside down on a dish.

Decorate with chocolate powder and chocolate shavings.
