Banana Layer Cake with Mascarpone Frosting
Mascarpone is an Italian cheese that's superrich, delicate and creamy. Here, it's simply blended with confectioners' sugar to create a sublime, snow-white frosting. For the best results, try to buy mascarpone that's very fresh. Beautiful Desserts

Recipe Summary
Ingredients
Directions
Make Ahead
The baked and cooled cake can be tightly wrapped in plastic and refrigerated for 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. The assembled cake can be made earlier in the day and refrigerated.
Notes
Cooking Club Tip: Stick several toothpicks around the circumference where you intend to separate the cake into layers. Then with a serrated knife or piece of taut, unwaxed, unflavored dental floss, slice the cake horizontally (using the toothpicks as a guide), gently sawing back and forth to cut.
