Mascarpone Desserts Faq's
You can find mascarpone cheese in the deli section of your grocery store, where all the cheeses, hummus, and meat products.
Cream cheese is made with milk and is more acidic, while mascarpone is made with heavy cream and is more creamy and velvety smooth, and is also higher in fat content.
In desserts, mascarpone complements the sweetness of fruits like berries, peaches, or figs. It adds a luscious element to classic desserts like tiramisu or cheesecake.
Additionally, mascarpone can be incorporated into savory dishes such as pasta sauces or risottos to add a luxurious creaminess. It also pairs beautifully with herbs like basil or thyme and can be spread on crusty bread for a simple yet flavorful appetizer.

📖 Recipe

Top 40+ Mascarpone Desserts: Mascarpone Cake & More
Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoon Lemon zest
- ¼ cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
- 90 g Butter melted and cooled, unsalted
- 3 Eggs
- 3 tablespoon Lemon juice
- ½ cup Limoncello
- ⅓ cup Buttermilk
- ⅓ cup Sour cream
- 2 ½ cups Flour
- 2 teaspoon Baking powder
For the mascarpone cream
- 230 g Mascarpone cheese
- 1 ⅓ cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Powder sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 5 tablespoon lemon curd
Instructions
- Preheat an oven to 180c (350f) and prepare a 9x9 inch cake pan with parchment paper.
- Into a large mixing bowl, add granulated sugar and lemon zest and mix it with a whisk until well combined for about 2 minutes. This helps to release oils from the lemon zest and get a strong flavor.
- Add the vanilla extract, kosher salt, sour cream, vegetable oil, melted butter, lemon juice, and limoncello, buttermilk, and mix until well combined.
- Add the eggs and mix until well combined.
- Add the flour and baking powder and mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
Make the mascarpone cream
- Into a big mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar and mix with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form. (don't overbeat the mixture so you don't create butter)
- Add the mascarpone cheese (which is at room temperature) and mix it lightly into the whipped cream using a spatula until a creamy mixture forms.
- Do not overmix this mixture! Stop just when the mixture is creamy and smooth. If you overmix this, the mixture will curdle and lose its creaminess.
- Top the cooled cake with the mascarpone cream and make swirls using an offset spatula.
- Make dollops of lemon curd on top of the mascarpone cream and swirl it with a spatula. Slice and enjoy! *Use my lemon curd recipe from my lemon curd cake.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients. It is important that you use room-temperature ingredients like eggs and butter. This step ensures that your mixture mixes into a homogenous mixture and bakes perfectly. you don’t want to place cold batter into the oven.
- Measure your flour correctly! When measuring your flour, avoid scooping it with a measuring cup. Instead, stir the flour with a spoon to create as many air pockets as possible, and spoon it into your measuring cup. Finally, level it with a back of a knife.
- Don’t overmix the batter, you don’t want to develop the gluten in the flour. This step ensures you have a moist cake and not a dense and dry cake.
- Line your baking pan with parchment paper! This step helps the cake to bake evenly, and it makes sure that your loaf cake will release easily from the pan.
- Be patient! I know it’s extremely tempting to frost this cake as it is pulled out of the oven, but let the cake cool for at least 1 hour so it will be firmer and won’t crumble up, and prevent the frosting from melting.
