Method

Chocolate Cake:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a 9” springform pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix with a whisk to evenly combine.
Add the oil, buttermilk, egg, vanilla, and warm water. Mix with a whisk until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Pour the batter into the lined springform pan.
Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Set aside to cool.

Mascapone Layer:

In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and heavy cream. Beat on medium speed until well combined, about 30 seconds.
Add the sugar, salt, vanilla bean paste, and espresso powder. Continue to beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 1-2 minutes. Do not over mix or the mixture will split. You want to just mix until soft peaks form.

Assembly: Pour the cream over the cooled cake into the springform pan. Spread into an even layer so the top is flat. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap to set for at least 4 hours or overnight. Dust with cocoa powder before serving
