Method
Step 1 of 6
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease 2 x 20cm-diameter cake pans. Line bases and sides with baking paper.
Step 2 of 6
In the large bowl of a stand mixer, beat eggs and sugar for 8 minutes or until very thick, pale and creamy.
Step 3 of 6
Sift flour, cornflour and cocoa together over egg mixture and fold in gently with a spatula until just combined. Drizzle in butter and fold lightly to combine. Divide batter evenly between pans. Bake for 25 minutes or until just coming away from edges of pans. Cool in pans for 5 minutes before turning out onto wire racks to cool completely. Remove paper.
Step 4 of 6
Meanwhile, to make the coffee syrup, stir all the ingredients with 1/3 cup boiling water in a small saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Simmer for 3 minutes or until thickened. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
Step 5 of 6
To make the mascarpone cream, use an electric whisk to beat all the ingredients together until thick.
Step 6 of 6
Turn bases of cakes up. Brush both with a little coffee syrup and place one cake on a serving plate, syrup side up. Top with half the mascarpone cream and drizzle with syrup. Place the other cake on top, syrup side down. Top with remaining mascarpone cream and drizzle with syrup. Serve with any remaining syrup.
