1 (12 ounce) purchased Angel Food Cake

Stir the water and espresso powder in a large bowl to blend. Stir in the mascarpone. Using an electric mixer beat the cream in another large bowl, while slowly adding powdered sugar, until soft peaks form. Using a large rubber spatula, fold 1/4 of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture to lighten. Then fold the remining whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture. Cut the angel food cake into 16(1" thick) wedges. Reserve any remaining cake for another use. Brush 1 side of each wedge of cake with the liqueur. Arrange 2 wedges of cake on each plate. Dollop the espresso cream atop each wedge of cake. Dust with cocoa powder and nuts and serve.
