4. Mix both mixtures and continue beating. Now pour the resulting mass into a baking dish and place in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 20-25 minutes. Then reduce the heat slightly (to 180 degrees) and bake the cake until fully cooked. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate. You can use either dark or milk chocolate according to your taste, but milk chocolate will taste better for this cake. I usually take a bar of ready-made milk chocolate, break it into pieces, and melt it over a water bath.

5. When the biscuit is ready, let it cool slightly, then use a thread or a sharp knife to cut it into two or three layers. It's better to cut it into three layers so that the cake can be thoroughly soaked and one of the layers can be generously spread with mascarpone cream.

6. While the biscuit cools, prepare another mascarpone cream: beat the cheese with a cup of sugar until fluffy. Once the cake layers have cooled slightly, start spreading them with cream and syrup. Spread the bottom layer with blueberry jam, the middle layer with mascarpone cream, and coat the top layer with melted chocolate. The sides of the cake should also be covered with chocolate.
