Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cake flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup full-fat milk
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually incorporate the cake flour and milk until combined.

- Assemble the torte by placing one cake layer on a serving platter, spreading half of the mascarpone filling on top, adding the second layer, and topping with remaining filling.
