Wonderful cake. Not quite enough at this scale to make a high cake in that size pan. I scaled it for 18 servings and it's just right. I used the whipped cream cream cheese frosting on this website and added about 1 teas. of cinnamon to the frosting. FABULOUS!!

Wonderful recipe! I tried it with 3 different liqueurs: Rum, Cream de Cacao, & Kahlua. My family & others choose the Rum to be the best. I also doubled the coffee/liqueur mixture and found it to be better. I tried it with home made lady fingers and store bought(soft) and prefer the store bought. Next time I'll try the firmer ladyfingers. I also used espresso rather than strong coffee with better results. I agree that bringing the mascarpone to room temp makes it easier to mix with the egg mixture.

This is a wonderful recipe. I followed the instructions to the letter including adding the chopped peanuts (rather than using chunky like others suggested). Jackie is correct when she recommends that you NOT overbake these cookies. I accidentally left a sheet in the oven a little longer and they were pretty dry.
