Ingredients
-
8 ounces
unsalted butter
( two sticks at room temperature)
-
1 cup
granulated sugar
-
1 cup
brown sugar
-
3 ounces
mascarpone cheese
-
2
eggs
-
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
-
1/2 teaspoon
baking powder
-
1 teaspoon
baking soda
-
1 pinch
salt
-
3/4 teaspoon
cream of tartar
-
1/4 teaspoon
freshly grated nutmeg
-
2 cups
all-purpose flour
-
1/3 cup
cinnamon sugar
( for coating the top)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Butter a 9 by 13-inch pan. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar and move pan around to make sure that the bottom and sides are coated. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cream of tarter.
- Using an stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugars. Beat for three minutes. Scrape down the bowl.
- Add the Mascarpone cheese and beat until fully incorporated.
- Add eggs, one at a time, scraping down the bowl after each addition.
- Add the vanilla and beat for another 30 seconds.
- On low speed add the sifted flour mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Spread mixture evenly into prepared pan. This will be hard as it is a thick batter. (I found it easiest to just wet my hands a little and press the batter into the pan.)
- Sprinkle more cinnamon sugar on top of the batter.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes.
