Turn cake onto a clean kitchen towel lightly dusted with confectioners' sugar. Remove parchment and gently roll cake up in the towel. Let cool completely.
07 -
Beat chilled heavy cream with 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Add mascarpone and coffee liqueur, mixing until smooth and firm.

Transfer cake to serving platter. Dust generously with cocoa powder before slicing and serving.
