If you have a birthday, party, or get-together with friends, why not make this quick and delicious cake? All you need is a shortcrust pastry and a cream made with mascarpone and crème fraîche, and don't forget your favorite chocolates!

For the shortcrust pastry: 

Mix all the ingredients together in the order listed below:

500g of flour

2 eggs + 1 egg yolk

2 teaspoons of baking powder

125g of sugar

1 sachet of vanilla sugar 

250g of softened margarine

1 tablespoon of oil

A pinch of salt

Mix all the ingredients in a food processor fitted with the dough hook. Once you have a smooth shortcrust pastry (add a little water if your dough is too stiff), divide it in half and cut out two identical circles with a hole in the center. Bake them in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) one after the other until golden brown (15 to 20 minutes depending on your oven).

Prepare the mascarpone cream:

500g of mascarpone

500g of fresh cream 38 %

2 tablespoons of icing sugar

4 tablespoons of vanilla pudding

Mix all these ingredients together with whisks until you have a thick cream and using a piping bag, place neat mounds on the first baked and cooled shortcrust pastry, then place the second one on top and repeat the same process with the cream, and then add decorations of your choice as shown in the picture.

The cake is finished and it will be eaten as quickly as it was made!
