Ingredients

1 box devil’s food cake mix
cup plus 2 tablespoons freshly made espresso or strong coffee
2 Tbsp. coffee-flavored liqueur (such as Kahlua, optional)
2 tub mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream
cup sugar
Garnish: unsweetened cocoa powder and coffee beans

Directions

1. Step 1Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 13 x 9-in. baking pan with foil, letting foil extend about 2 in. above pan at both ends. Coat foil with nonstick spray.
2. Step 2Spread cake batter in prepared pan. Bake as box directs. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Holding foil ends, lift from pan. Trim rounded top off cake with a long serrated knife until flat. Holding foil ends, lift cake and return cake to pan.
3. Step 3Mix 1⁄4 cup espresso and the liqueur in a small bowl; brush over top of cake.
4. Step 4Stir mascarpone and remaining espresso in a large bowl until blended. Beat cream and sugar in a medium bowl on high speed until soft peaks form when beaters are lifted. Fold into cheese mixture until smooth. Spread over cake, adding swirls with back of a spoon.
5. Step 5Lightly dust cake with cocoa stirred through a strainer. Cut in squares; cut squares diagonally in half. Garnish with coffee beans.
