Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

2. Make the Cake:
   • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
   • In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

   • Let the cake cool completely.
3. Prepare the Coffee Mixture:
   • In a small bowl, combine the brewed coffee, coffee liqueur (if using), and granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
4. Make the Mascarpone Cream:
   • In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
   • In another bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
   • Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
5. Assemble the Cake:
   • Once the cake is cool, slice it into two layers.
   • Place one layer of cake on a serving plate and brush with half of the coffee mixture.
   • Spread a layer of mascarpone cream over the cake.
   • Top with the second layer of cake and brush with the remaining coffee mixture.
