There’s no mascarpone cheese in the cake my mother makes, so this blueberry cake is definitely different than hers. But it turned out absolutely delightful! I made this in the evening, managed to resist the urge to have a piece right away (I would have eaten it all, had I tasted even a little bit) and served it for breakfast the next morning.
Let me tell you something, friends. A slice of this cake, with a cup of strong coffee, as the first rays of sun hit your kitchen… I’m pretty sure you can’t get closer to heaven while you’re still on this Earth!
If you’re not a fan of mascarpone cheese, or you just don’t happen to have it at hand, you can use yoghurt or buttermilk instead. But I do recommend trying this recipe with mascarpone first – I believe it makes all the difference!

2 1/2 cups Domino granulated sugar

Quick tip: If you’re serving this hot, straight from the oven, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
I don’t have a mixer with a paddle, can I use a regular mixer?
Yes 🙂
What is the name of this cake please?
what is mascarpoin cheese?????
It’s a smooth cheese usually found in a tub with the ricotta cheese/ cream cheeses etc. I would not skip this, can’t wait to try it
How much baking powder? I’ve never heard of vanilla baking powder….
It’s kind of italian version of cream cheese
What is vanilla baking powder?
I looked it up and it said it is used in Italian cooking and if you use that, you don’t need to add vanilla. I wouldn’t want to buy it just for one recipe so I would use regular baking powder. And vanilla IS added to this recipe.
Can you use strawberries instead?
Sure!
Do you fold in the Blueberries frozen or defrosted.
Will fresh blueberries work?

Just watch your mother make the cake and write down her measurements. Or have a friend of hers do it for you.
What other types of flour can be used. Such as almond, oat flour etc. Thank you!
Marscapone is an Italian sweet cheese. Google a recipe for it and make your own with cream cheese. DON’T LEAVE IT OUT!!!
Can you use sour cream instead of Marscapone
Way, way too much sugar in this recipe! I could never make this.
That’s the beauty of freedom…you don’t have too 🙂
How much baking powder do you use with the 3 cups flour?
it says 1/2 tsp baking powder for the 3 cups flour. You don’t need vanilla baking powder for one recipe. since there already is vanilla in the cake.
So where is your moms recipe ?
When numerous ingredients put you in a dither you can always use a cake mix and simply add to it the things that made someone else’s cake special. The food engineers at Duncan Hines have perfected the balance of ingredients that make cake a cake, light, fluffy, moist and full of whatever you desire. I just made a “dump” cake with Duncan Hines Spice Cake mix mixed with apple pie filling and cherry pie filling. Half of each separately, put in a pan, one layer on top of the other, and it turned out great! Everyone loved it. I also had to squeeze in a couple of baby apple sauce servings in a tube pack. They are good if more moisture is needed to completely “wet” the cake batter.
Since when is baking powder vanilla?
