In another bowl, add the buttermilk, oil and vanilla.  Set aside.

In the bowl of your mixer, add the butter and mix at medium speed until smooth.  Gradually add the sugar and continue to mix on medium speed for 3 to 5 minutes until lightened in color and fluffy.  Add the eggs one at a time mixing until the yellow of the yolk  disappears.

Alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients (3 additions of dry ingredients and 2 of liquid).

Do not mix above medium speed or over mix the cake batter.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just  few crumbs attached.  Let cool 10 minutes and turn out.

Mascarpone Filling

Using a spoon or spatula mix by hand the mascarpone, powdered sugar and vanilla and cinnamon. Fold in the chocolate chips.  Refrigerate until ready to use.

Frosting

Chill the mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for about 10 minutes.  Add the cream, powdered sugar and cinnamon to the chilled bowl.  With the mixer on medium speed beat until stiff peaks form.  Watch the entire time as this can happen in just a few minutes.
