Servings: persons

3/4 cup mascarpone cheese
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup toasted chopped pecans
8 3/4 -inch-thick slices pound cake
4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 pint blackberries
1 tablespoon cognac

1
Mix the mascarpone, sugar and vanilla in a bowl with a rubber spatula until smooth.
2
Fold in the pecans; cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
3
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
4
Spread some butter on both sides of each cake slice (about 2 tablespoons total).
5
Toast in the skillet until golden, about 2 minutes per side.
6
Let cool.
7
Combine the brown sugar and the remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat.
8
Cook, stirring, until melted and bubbly, about 3 minutes.
9
Carefully add the cream and cook, stirring, about 1 more minute.
10
Stir in the blackberries, smashing a few berries with the back of a spoon.
11
Remove from the heat, then add the cognac and return to medium heat.
12
Carefully tilt the pan so the cognac ignites (if using an electric stove, hold a lit match near the sauce to ignite it); cook until the flames subside.
13
Spread some mascarpone filling on 4 pound cake slices; close with the remaining 4 cake slices.
14
Top with the blackberries and sauce.
