Torta Caprese - Flourless Chocolate Almond Cake

Torta Caprese is a traditional cake of the beautiful island of Capri from Italy. It is a dense, moist flourless chocolate cake enriched with ground almonds that bring a great flavor and texture. Also as no flour is used makes this dessert a perfect choice for those in search of gluten-free desserts.

Ingredients
Makes about 8 servings
7 oz (200g) peeled almonds
7 oz (200g) semisweet chocolate
2/3 cup (150g) butter
3/4 cup (150g) sugar, divided
4 eggs
1/4 tsp (1g) salt
1. Grease and line with parchment paper a 8 or 9 inch (20-23 cm) springform pan (with a removable base). Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Place the peeled almonds into a food processor and process until finely ground but with still some remaining chunky pieces for a crunch texture
3. Melt chocolate and butter over a bain-marie until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
4. Meanwhile separate egg yolks from whites.
5. Mix yolks with ½ cup (100g) sugar and salt until thick and pale yellow colored.
6. Mix in cooled chocolate and add ground almonds.
7. Whip egg whites until foamy using a mixer. Gradually add ¼ cup (50g) sugar and whip until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped whites into chocolate mixture.
8. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with few crumbs attached
9. Let it cool completely in the pan over a cooling rack.
10. When cooled invert onto a serving platter and dust with powdered sugar.
11. Serve if desired with whipped cream and fresh berries.

I made this cake and I couldn’t stop thinking about how delicious this cake is. Everyone who had this cake couldn’t stop talking about how delicious this cake is. Thank you so much for this recipe. This is now my go to cake recipe. Thanks again! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@przepisyjoli]

Wow! Its Great!

[@ms.keyshawineglass7590]

Thank you so much! I really do have a gluten allergy. I haven't been able to eat good chocolate cake or a chocolate chip cookie in a very long time. I'm now excited to make this cake because I know everything you make is absolutely delicious!

[@myculinarypage5184]

so calming video, beautiful recipe thanks for sharing 👍👍

[@Pearl_of_Labuan]

One of my all time favourite cakes: I bake Torta Caprese every year for my birthday, at the end of November 😊 Greetings from Italy.

[@hitty9]

I guess what you mean is you make it for Thanksgiving

[@Pearl_of_Labuan]

@@hitty9 No, just on my birthday: we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in my country. But, yes, sometimes it happens that my birthday and U.S. Thanksgiving are in the same day 😆 Anyway, Torta Caprese is very popular and appreciated, here 😊

[@hitty9]

@@Pearl_of_Labuan sweet to tell your story. What a great topic to share.

[@Pearl_of_Labuan]

@@hitty9 To be honest, I left a comment to thank the lady for her recipe, not to share a topic with people 😎 Kind Regards.

[@Airfabio]

As an italian, I suggest you to toast in the oven, or on medium heat, a little bit the almonds. It will bring much more flavour to the cake. Enjoy!

[@DeadliciousCookingStudio]

I agree.

[@anthonybillfrancis.1594]

Great 👍

[@schilderpha]

I agree too

[@dulcineasintoboso6197]

You are the only ones I've seen who don't use a stand mixer. Love that! You are the proof that it's not necessary to have one of those to make amazing things. Just a hand mixer and some spatulas, and some wonders as a result. Thanks for the recipe!

[@hitty9]

not necessary, but heaven to own and use one. what are you holding back for? Lasts a lifetime, and longer!

[@hitty9]

@Horst von Prondzinski OK I get it. You don't bake. I do.

[@fatemehentezari9779]

I made this recipe and followed some suggestions in the comments. I roasted the almonds and used 120 g of sugar. I also decorated it with some whipping cream and strawberries. It turned out amazing. My husband ranked it 10 out of 10. This cake is very delicious but heavy.

[@SecretsInTheOvenFoodChannel]

This cake looks so delicious! Great job, Ella! 💕

[@suchartboontid2560]

This channel is the best thing on the internet.

[@urmirupapal2355]

Thank you for the awesome recipe! Made it for my mom's birthday and it was so good and moist. I used erythritol 120g and semi sweet chocolate compound, and the sweetness was just perfect. This way you can make this cake keto compliant too!! ❤️

[@gloriafernandes1181]

@urmi Rupa which brand of erythritol did u use?

[@samanthajones8300]

Thank you for this great recipe! I have reduced the quantity of sugar to 120 g and it was perfect. All my family enjoyed it. And it is so easy to cook it. So I keep the recipe to my note book of favourites :)
