Step 1
Mix cake using the directions on your cake mix. Then divide 2/3 of the batter between 2 pans. In the remaining batter, stir in 1/4 cup of coffee (if using instant coffee; mix with water first) and pour into remaining that last pan.
-
Step 2Bake. This will vary according to the mix you are using and the size of the pans. Make sure that the cake is finished – insert a tooth pick into the centre and if it comes out clean its ready. Cool
-
Step 3Filling: In a small bowl, using an electric mixer set on low speed (or by hand), combine mascarpone, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur; beat just until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
-
Step 4Frosting: In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium-high speed (or by hand), beat the cream, 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur until stiff. Fold 1/2 cup of cream mixture into filling mixture.

Step 5To assemble the cake:
NOTE - as tempting as it is to add a lot of coffee to the cake, be aware of cake saturation levels. You don't want the cake to be mush.
Bottom Layer: Place one plain cake layer on a serving plate. Using a thin skewer, poke holes in cake, about 1 inch apart. Pour one third of reserved coffee mixture over cake, then spread with half of the filling mixture.
Middle Layer: Top with coffee-flavoured cake layer; poke holes in cake. Pour another third of the coffee mixture over the second layer and spread with the remaining filling.
Top Layer: Top with remaining cake layer; poke holes in cake. Pour remaining coffee mixture on top.
Finally: Spread sides and top of cake with frosting.
