Ingredients

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup strong coffee
1/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup salted butter

2 eggs
1 1/2 oz unsweetened chocolate
4 egg yolks

8 oz mascarpone cheese
2 tbsp spiced rum
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps

Heat the oven to 350°F and butter a 9-inch round cake pan.
Melt the butter and unsweetened chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, then cool for 5 minutes.
Whisk the cake sugar and eggs in a large bowl, then stir in the melted chocolate mixture, coffee, and buttermilk.
Stir in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, pour the batter into the pan, and bake for 28 minutes.
Cool the cake in the pan for 30 minutes, then remove it and cut it into two layers.
Cook the egg yolks and remaining sugar in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until 160°F, then cool for 10 minutes and beat in the mascarpone and rum.
Whip the heavy cream, fold it into the mascarpone mixture, layer it with the cake and remaining coffee, dust with cocoa, and chill for 135 minutes.
