For the Topping

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray the baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and egg whites, and beat for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  3. Pour the batter into the baking dish and bake for 29-34 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  4. Whisk together the cold brew coffee and sweetened condensed milk in a medium bowl and set aside.
  5. Once the cake is baked, poke holes with a wooden spoon handle about every 1½ inches apart.
  6. Slowly pour the coffee syrup evenly over the warm cake and let it soak in.
  7. Cover the cake and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  8. In a medium bowl, whip the mascarpone cheese until smooth, then mix in the vanilla frosting until blended.
  9. Spread the mascarpone mixture evenly over the top of the cooled cake.
