Ingredients: 1.5 cups cake flour; 0.75 cup granulated sugar; 2 teaspoons baking powder; 0.25 tsp salt; 5.5 tablespoons unsalted butter; 0.25 cup neutral oil; 0.5 cup whole milk; 0.5 cup yogurt; 1 tsp almond extract; 2 egg whites; 1 blood orange; 0.25 cup blood orange juice; 0.25 cup granulated sugar; 3 egg yolks; 2.5 tablespoons unsalted butter; 0.75 cup heavy cream; 6 tablespoons granulated sugar; 6 ounces mascarpone; 1 tsp vanilla extract

These soft and fluffy white cake layers flavored with almond extract are filled with a sweet blood orange curd that adds a bright, citrusy pop, then wrapped up in a light and silky mascarpone frosting. Each bite combines tender cake, tangy-sweet curd, and creamy frosting for a dessert that’s both elegant and indulgent.
