1cupwater
½cupvegetable oil
3largeegg whites
8ouncesHigh Brew Cold Coffee - Double Espresso* See Note
14ouncessweetened condensed milk
12.5ouncesvanilla frostingroom temperature
8ouncesmascarpone cheeseroom temperature
4ouncesunsweetened chocolatefor shavings
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. and prepare a 9 X 13 baking dish by spraying it with cooking spray.
Make the cake by mixing the cake mix, water, oil, and egg whites in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
Place batter into prepared baking pan and bake for 29-34 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, whisk together the High Brew Cold Coffee and sweetened condensed milk in a medium bowl.
Immediately after removing the cake from the oven, use the end of a wooden spoon to poke holes into the top of it, about 1 ½ inches apart.
Whisk the coffee mixture again before using and then gently pour it evenly over the top of the cake. I found it easiest to do this with a ladle.
Refrigerate the cake until it completely cools, about 30 minutes to an hour.
In a mixing bowl, whip the mascarpone cheese until smooth and slightly fluffy, about three minutes.
Add the vanilla frosting and beat together until well combined.
Spread the frosting over the entire cake.
Using a zester, grate the unsweetened chocolate and sprinkle evenly over the top of the cake before serving.
Notes
If you cannot find the Double Espresso High Brew Cold Coffee at your local grocery store or choose not to order it on Amazon, you can use 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder mixed with 6 ounces hot water.
