1. To make the sauce, beat the egg yolks and sugar together in a bowl with
a mixer until light and lemon-colored. Beat the mascarpone into the
egg-yolk mixture until well blended. Don’t overmix, or sauce may separate.
Beat in the 2 tablespoons of brandy.
2. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
Fold egg whites into the Mascarpone mixture. Refrigerate until serving
time.
3. To serve, cut the cake into 1 inch thick slices, place on a plate and
spoon mascarpone sauce over it. Decorate each portion with fresh berries.
