Okay, for a first crack this came out great. The one mistake I made that almost sunk me was using 9” cake pans instead of 8”. Trust me when I say that one inch can make a world of difference because from a volume / depth of batter in your pan and therefore how done is something getting etc etc it matters. Luckily I checked earlier than the recipe suggested and achieved a great outcome.
The mascarpone / cream cheese frosting is everything. This took me way longer than it needed to, I suspect after you make this -once- you’ll bang the entire thing out in 60-75 mins.
Anyway, the recipe is here if you want to try.
