| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Eggs | 180g |
| All-purpose flour | 160g |
| Butter (for greasing) | As needed |
| Sugar | 130g |
| Salt | A pinch |
| Fresh brewed coffee | 1 cup (50g) |
| Corn oil | 80g |
| Baking powder (for sweets) | 13g |
| Mascarpone cheese | 350g |
| Powdered sugar | 130g |
| Instant coffee | 5g |
| Heavy cream | 300g |

Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Coffee
To start, prepare the coffee using a moka pot (you’ll need 50g of ground coffee). Once brewed, set it aside to cool slightly.
Step 2: Make the Cake Base
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Add the cooled coffee and continue mixing for a few moments until fully incorporated. Gradually add the corn oil and mix again until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
Grease a 28 cm tart pan (preferably a “furbo” mold with a removable bottom) with butter, then pour the batter into the pan. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the tart for about 30 minutes in a static oven. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it’s ready to be removed from the oven. Let it cool completely.
Step 4: Prepare the Coffee Mascarpone Cream
Once the cake has cooled, prepare the filling by mixing the mascarpone cheese with 80g of powdered sugar. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Spread this mascarpone cream evenly into the center of the cooled cake.
Step 5: Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the remaining 50g of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Transfer the whipped cream into a pastry bag (no tip needed), and pipe small dollops of whipped cream across the surface of the tart.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a few whole coffee beans on top for a decorative touch. Your Coffee Soft Tart is now ready to be served!
Tips & Variations:
- You can make the coffee flavor stronger by adjusting the amount of instant coffee in the mascarpone cream.
- If you prefer a bit of crunch, sprinkle crushed coffee beans over the whipped cream for added texture.
- This tart is perfect for coffee lovers and pairs wonderfully with an espresso or a creamy cappuccino.
Enjoy the rich and indulgent flavors of this soft coffee tart that’s sure to impress at any gathering!
