Such a long title, but such a simple cake. You may have noticed that I´m not into making cakes. All this decoration, smoothing, uff. I would rather make 5 tarts than 1 round layered cake. However, I dealt with this my way and made a cake where you don´t have to smooth or even out anything. Not because of some anniversary, but because I was in mood for something special. This Brownie Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Mascarpone Filling and Berry Fruits is a dream dessert for all chocoholics. It is made from 2 brownie layers, literally brownie, not just cocoa sponge cake that pretends to be a brownie. Then, let´s add chocolate mascarpone filling, well more like cocoa filling, but you wouldn´t notice it in its taste and finally, as a cherry on top, fruits. I used the frozen ones, à la what I found in a freezer since I´m getting rid of summer fruit stocks, but you can use frozen or fresh fruits as well. However, if you use the frozen ones, make sure that you let drip off any excessive juice from fruits, otherwise the cake will be mushy. This cake won´t take as much time as the traditional one and it will satisfy chocoholics as well as fruit lovers.
