Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
6 large eggs
2 c. espresso OR strong coffee, cooled (I prefer Starbucks)
1 c. sugar ( I use "ultra fine" granulated)
1/4 c. brandy
16 oz. Mascarpone cheese
4 oz. bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate, grated
1 T. unsweetened cocoa
1 Sara Lee extra large pound cake (found in freezer section)
Directions:
Directions:
Combine 6 egg yolks, 2 T. espresso, sugar and brandy into large bowl. Beat 2-3 minutes. Add Mascarpone and beat 3-5 minutes until smooth. In another bowl, combine 6 egg whites and 1/4 tsp. sugar. Beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into Mascarpone mixture. Into the remaining espresso, add brandy and ultra fine sugar to taste. If espresso is strong, I've found 4 T. of each is good, but add the brandy and sugar by T. to suit your taste! Slice cake into 18 even slices. Pour small amount of espresso mixture into shallow bowl for dipping. Quickly dip each side of cake slices, careful not to dip entire pieces. Layer 9 of them in a 9x12" serving dish. Whatever direction you want to place them in is fine. Spread half of Mascarpone mixture over these 9 pieces. Sprinkle with 2 oz. of the grated chocolate. DIp remaining 9 pieces of cake in espresso mixture, layer in same fashion, and cover with remaining Mascarpone mixture. Sprinkle 2 oz. of grated chocolate over the top. Using a sifter, sprinkle the 1 T. of unsweetened cocoa over the top. Refrigerate at least 3 hours before serving. Serves 12.
