Mascarpone cheese cream for cake

Thick cream for both assembling and leveling the cake. Cream with Italian mascarpone cheese is my favorite among the creams for sponge cakes. It is dense, sweet and delicious, keeps its shape well. The color is pale beige, the texture is smooth and pliable. The cream is suitable for layering cakes and for the top of the cake.

Step 1:
For the cream you will need: powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, soft butter and mascarpone cheese (just from the refrigerator).
Step 2:
By the way, not so long ago I started making powdered sugar myself. To do this, I use a heavy-duty mixer for solid foods and regular sugar. It turns out cheaper than buying ready-made powdered sugar. You can also grind sugar in a conventional electric coffee grinder.
Step 3:
Transfer the powdered sugar to a bowl in which it will be convenient to beat the cream. Add vanilla sugar for flavor. Transfer the soft butter to the same place.
Step 4:
With a mixer at low speed, mix the powder with the oil so that it does not fly apart. And then, at maximum speed, beat the butter until fluffy for about one to two minutes.
Step 5:
Add the cold mascarpone cheese and mix the cream again at minimum speed.
Step 6:
And then whisk it at maximum speed. This stage takes about three minutes. The cream is ready!

In order to make it convenient to work with the cream, so that it is applied more evenly and does not roll under the working tool, proceed to assembling or leveling the cake immediately after whipping. Many recommend giving the cream time to stand in the refrigerator before work. But I didn't like it at all. The cold cream I had rolled under the spatula to level the cake. But just whipped proved to be fine!

The amount of sugar can be reduced depending on your taste.

Good luck!

Butter can be softened in the microwave in the appropriate mode (read the instructions for your device) or in a water bath. How to properly soften the oil in a water bath? You will need two containers of different diameters. Pour water into a large one and put it on the stove. Place the smaller container on top so that it is immersed in water for about half. Put the sliced butter into it. Under the influence of boiling water, the oil will begin to soften. Stir the oil slightly to speed up the process. As soon as the pieces of butter become soft, but not liquid, remove the container from the stove.
