In a cup, soak the raisins in the hot water and rum. Sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder into a bowl and mix well together. In another bowl, mix the two types of sugar, the finely diced butter and the Nutella which you have previously softened in a bain marie, then place in a saucepan and warm over a low heat until all the ingredients are completely dissolved and amalgamated. Remove from the heat and add the raisins with the water and rum. Pour into a food mixer, then separately lightly beat the eggs and also add to the mixer, stirring constantly. Gradually also add the flour and cocoa mixture, running the food mixer at low speed. Preheat the oven to 180°C, and grease and line a circular baking tin. Pour the mixture into the tin and bake for 1 hour or until cooked – a toothpick should come out clean. To prepare the mascarpone cream, beat it with a whisk, add the rum and icing sugar and continue beating until frothy and fairly firm. Sprinkle the cake with a little icing sugar and serve each slice with a little mascarpone cream.
