For the Chocolate and Raspberry baked Mascarpone Cake with Raspberry Sauce I used this recipe. I was originally looking for a recipe for a cake with mascarpone cheese in it. The recipe I used was for ricotta cheese but worked perfectly with mascarpone. A nice gooey cake and the raspberries made it even more delicious!
