Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Electric Mixer
  • Spatula
  • Springform Pan (Ø 20 cm)
  • Piping Bags and Nozzles

Ingredients

  • 4 medium eggs
  • 100 g sugar
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 100 g wheat flour Type 405
  • 40 g cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 250 g mascarpone
  • 200 g cream cheese
  • 1 pack vanilla sugar
  • 50 g sugar
  • 200 g cream
  • 2 packs cream stiffener

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (or 160°C for fan ovens) and line a springform pan (Ø 20 cm) with baking paper.
  • Beat eggs, sugar, and salt for about 10 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  • Mix flour, cornstarch, and baking powder in a separate bowl, then sift into the egg mixture in three parts, folding gently each time, and fold in lemon zest.
  • Pour batter into the pan and bake for about 25 minutes until golden yellow. Let it cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
  • In a bowl, mix mascarpone, cream cheese, vanilla sugar, lemon juice, and sugar until smooth. Whip cream with stiffener until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the mascarpone mixture.
  • Cut the biscuit base horizontally into three even layers. Pipe cream evenly over the first layer, add the second layer, and repeat.
  • Spread the remaining cream over the cake, pipe decorative stars or swirls, garnish with lemon slices and zest.

Notes

For best results, use room-temperature eggs and chill the assembled cake before decorating for stability.
This recipe can be made ahead of time by baking the biscuit a day in advance and assembling it closer to serving time.
Store leftovers in the fridge, covered loosely with plastic wrap. It stays good for up to 3 days. For freezing, wrap individual slices tightly and thaw overnight in the fridge before enjoying.
