The directions as printed do not seem to be right. Followed directions exactly. The mixture never formed soft peaks. Instead it was like hard cottage cheese. The mixture never whipped. Expensive disaster for the garbage pail.
ps: For your information, the 2 mascarpone cheese containers were at room temperature. I believe the cream should have been whipped prior to adding the other ingredients.

I've been trying Giada's recipes for a few years now & all have been successful winners, save for this one. I followed the directions exactly, but the frosting curdled & though I still kept mixing in hopes that the texture would change, it did not. Still tastes good, but looks a fright!

This was so good-made for mother's day, not a crub left.
DO NOT OVER BEAT THE ICING or it will separate.

I made this cake this weekend and found it to be a very expensive and b overall uninteresting.
The mascarpone cheese cost 11 dollars alone and that was only one ingredient for a cake that uses a box mix! I also thought the orange/chocolate topping did not compliment the icing.
Best part of the cake was the box mix.

Sorry Giada, I followed another viewer's suggestion regarding chilling my beaters before whipping the cream. What a mistake I made. The filling was runny and not at all like a soft peak finish I would have had had I just followed your direction. If some one else had this problem, please let me know, or did I do something else that would have made this filling come out as bad as it did. I love your recipes Giada, so I know this was not your fault but I had to give it a low rating.

Yes I too failed with the frosting the first time. I overwhipped it and it turned out lumpy. I am so glad that I tried it again. The flavors of this cake are so good. Carefully watch the whipping time.

This cake hit the jackpot at a family gathering. The frosting is so light and fluffy everyone could enjoy it. I read the reviews and found success by chilling the frosting bowl for 15 minutes, whipping the cream solo to soft peaks before folding in the remaining ingredients. Then, giving a final, gentle whip at the end made this frosting the best I've ever had.
Thank you, Giada!

I didn't use the sugar mixture with the hazelnuts, thinking it might turn out weird, or too sweet, and im glad i didnt. I just added the hazelnuts as is, and it was the best cake ever. I first made it for my boyfriends birthday, then my brothers, then made them into mini cupcakes, and everyone said it was the best cake/cupcake they ever had!

I've made this a couple of times now and everyone enjoys it. The second time I used almonds and it was just as good. (some people don't really like hazelnuts. Either way, Giada just keeps proving her recipes are surefire keepers!!
