There are many recipes that we discover due to the need or desire to take advantage of those ingredients that we have in the fridge and are about to expire. So I found this mascarpone cake; because of the need to finish a tub of mascarpone cheese and the desire to prepare a sponge cake for breakfast.
It is a simple cake, ideal for beginners. The ingredients are incorporated one by one and beat until obtaining a dense dough that will later grow in the oven. The chocolate did not come in the original recipe but, I could not resist adding some dark chocolate chips.
