Glad it works with mascarpone as things melt here in Italy so easily. Lets see if Itlaian courgettes work as well!! I have tried this in the UK and it was great.

Every time I make it I get compliments. I reduced the oil to 100mls I use a whole tub of mascarpone (think it is 250gms) and the juice and zest of 2 limes, filling the middle of the cake and putting the rest on the top. I tried ricotta which is thinner, it tastes lovely (1 lime) and actually looks nice with a few runs down the side but I prefer mascarpone Cook on Gas mark 4 25-30 mins until a skewer comes out clean or the top springs back.

However I am having trouble with the filling.What am I doing wrong? I have used Philidelphia cream cheese and icing sugar but when I add the juice and zest of a lime it is too runny but without the lime it isn't as nice I have made the cake and it is deicious.

It took just under 40 minutes at 160C in a fan oven - approx equivalent to 180C in a conventional oven. It has cooked perfectly and is lovely - light, fluffy and delicious!
