Tips:

* Remove the mascarpone cheese from the refrigerator early enough and Whip it vigorously until very soft

* Dip the ladyfingers in the coffee very fast. Don’t let the lady finger biscuits absorb too much liquid or they may become too soft and mushy.

* If you don't have a spring form pan, you can use a normal baking round pan with a large sheet of aluminum foil and Give allowance of about 1~2 inches for the foil to hang over the rim of the pan.Place a cake board inside the lined pan. 

* To unmold, simply lift up the cake from the pan by gripping the foil. Transfer the cake onto a serving plate and carefully remove the foil.
