- 1 chocolate pumpkin spice cake
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 2 tsp. instant espresso
- ½ tsp. pumpkin spice
- 8 ounces softened mascarpone
- ¼ cup sifted powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp. pumpkin puree
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
Prepare the pumpkin spice cake. Cut the cake into two layers, and then cut each layer into nine rectangles to cover the area of your pan.
In a small saucepan, simmer together the sugar, water, espresso powder, and pumpkin spice. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone, powdered sugar, vanilla, and pumpkin puree. Set aside.
In an electric mixer, beat the cream until it's well whipped.
Place half the cake in the bottom of a 10x 7 pan. Brush with the espresso mixture, and top with half the mascarpone. Repeat with the rest of the cake, some more of the espresso mixture, and the rest of the mascarpone. Spread the whipped cream over the top. Using a vegetable peeler, make chocolate shavings and sprinkle them all over the top. Serve right away or chill for later.
