Torta caprese

Torta caprese is a flourless chocolate cake made with almonds. It usually contains butter, eggs, salt, and sugar, producing a dense, dark cake. The origins of torta caprese is unclear, and have become the subject of culinary legends, many featuring a forgetful or distracted baker inventing the cake by accident. Today, it is among the most famous dishes in Neapolitan cuisine. In the island of Capri and broader Campania region, both torta caprese made at home and purchased from pasticceria ('pastry shop') are popular. Preparations of torta caprese are simple but vary widely, sometimes including flavours such as bitter orange and the liqueur Strega. In Italy the cake is usually topped with designs made using powdered sugar, often taking the form of words, the faraglioni di Capri, or an outline of a crocheted doily.
