I made a cake!

Banana, cherry, coconut, almond, honey and cinnamon.

Please raise your hand if this made you dribble a little bit.

Hey anyone know a recipe I can use marscapone in?

YUM!

Marscapone goes in tiramisu and cheesecake. You can also use it in pasta sauce. Or you could just put it on top of your cake :)

It's mascarpone, not marscapone -- sorry, it's a pet peeve of mine and it seems like a lot of people make the same mistake.

As mentioned above, tiramisu is the biggie, but good to use wherever a soft, creamy substance would be indicated. It's lovely if applied on dollops to pizza, but I recommend doing this only when you've just gotten it out of the oven -- if you bake the mascarpone on the pizza, it'll just turn into a thick cream (a mistake The Lucky Coq are guilty of making).

Try mixing some with pesto and using it as a dip, layering it in with lasagne -- go wild! It's so mild that it's versatile enough to be used with savory and sweet dishes.

i have a tub of mascarpone in my fridge that was left from my roomie's gf making me a bday cake--i think she used it in the frosting. i added some honey and sugar to sweeten it (would have wanted to add vanilla too if i had the energy and could find the stuff), and i'm dipping generic-petit-beurre cookies in it. TASTES LIKE CANNOLI FILLING, I LOVE IT. really rich stuff though.
