The original name of the recipe is Easter cake with mascarpone, because the recipe used 500 g of mascarpone, but I replaced it with 400 g. Philadelphia (Almente) + 100 ml of cream. From myself I added white chocolate, zest, vanilla and cognac, replaced sliced dark chocolate with raisins, and egg white frosting with lemon.

P.S.* When I made this cake, I used 250 grams of flour, because its density is higher than that of Greek flour, unfortunately I don’t remember the flour brand. Keep this in mind and add flour gradually.
