This chocolate mascarpone cake with Nutella is a sheet cake made with cocoa sponge, mascarpone cream, and a chocolate layer. The five-egg sponge bakes for about 20–25 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F) and is done when the edges start to pull away from the pan. Melt the dark chocolate with sour cream and a tablespoon of Nutella over simmering water, then simply beat the mascarpone until smooth and sweeten to taste.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Beat the eggs with the granulated sugar until thick and foamy. Mix the flour with the baking powder, then fold it into the egg mixture along with the cocoa powder.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured sheet pan. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (350 °F) for approximately 20–25 minutes. The sponge is done when its edges start to pull away from the pan.
Melt the chocolate with the sour cream and Nutella in a bowl over simmering water. Beat the mascarpone with a mixer until creamy, adding sugar to taste if desired.
Cut the baked sponge into two halves. Drizzle the first half with milk, spread with mascarpone, pour over some chocolate cream, and cover with the second half of the sponge.
Repeat the layers, finishing by smoothing the chocolate cream over the top. Refrigerate the cake for a little while before serving.
Tip: Beat the mascarpone briefly on low speed, as prolonged beating will make it grainy. Let the chocolate mixture stand until just slightly warm before pouring it over the cake; if it is hot, it will melt the mascarpone.
