Torta Caprese with Emiko Davies | At Home With Us

Florence-based cookbook author and Food52 contributor Emiko Davies is sharing her recipe for Torta Caprese. This is a simple cake of even proportions and a handful of essential ingredients: blanched almonds pulverized into flour, unsalted butter, melted dark chocolate, and sugar. Eggs are needed, too-separated and with the yolks stirred through the batter and the whites whipped to fluffy peaks. Other than whipping the eggs whites, all you need is a wooden spoon to mix everything together.

This was so enjoyable. A simple but decadent recipe make with the children. This was example of why mothers day is celebrated.🌷

[@supercarolita81]

The best part of the recipe are the children. So much loveeeee!

[@yasemin_93]

Absolutely lovely, thank you so much and for your little helpers ☺️☺️ they are too cute! 🌸🌸 Will definitely try this, thank you!

This is such a pure and sweet video;;; It really made me want to try baking the cake too

[@jennifersantosuosso4479]

That cake looks amazing. I love chocolate and gluten free. Also ... your children are just gorgeous. Lovely video.

[@Artzenflowers]

What a treat, I feel like I was visiting a sweet friend. Love your kitchen and the babies are lovely!

I made this cake and it came out great. I added in 2 T of liqueur to the batter at the end as you suggested before folding in the whipped whites. I like the mathematical symmetry of the ingredients. You asked for recipe recommendations and I would love to see pasticciotti. I have found recipes on the web, but have not found many authentic demonstrations of how to make it. I am also wondering if pasticciotti can be made in a miniature muffin pan. Thank you for the demonstration of the torta!

[@pizzamammamia1285]

Emiko, I just discovered your video on "torta Caprese" and I love it, I live in Canada .. can you tell me the brand name of the handy food processor you are using it appears to be very practical (fast and does not take much room)

[@miaytuxa]

What are blanched almonds? Are they boiled almonds?

[@irian42]

But when do you add the tomatoes and the mozzarella?

[@dinachristine]

Luna has cheeks you want to pinch for ever! 🥰

[@chandratyler9567]

Did I miss something when did she show how to put this batter together ? Or was this video all about the cute children. I’m puzzled.

[@hairygodmothers5500]

i've made this at least ten times since. the latest one in the oven right now. i'm such a loser watching this during. it's 10pm. One thing i don't agree with Emiko here- it's as good straight out of the oven as it is the next day.

Your daughter is beautiful

Hopefully an adult saw the daughter chew the spat before it is used. Think not.

[@ChurchladyHmm]
