Torta Caprese! A delicious and simple Italian chocolate and almond cake recipe, flourless. One of those that everyone likes, drives chocolate lovers crazy, and is suitable for celiacs. The name of this cake comes from the island of Capri, off the coast of Naples, where it is said to have been invented. No one knows for sure who its author was, but there are two quite picturesque stories surrounding the subject.<\/p>\n

\"Caprese<\/a><\/p>\n

Some say that a pastry chef named Carmine di Fiore was commissioned to prepare a chocolate cake for three American gentlemen who were involved in not-so-legal affairs. Poor Mr. Carmine, due to the pressure of cooking for somewhat dangerous characters, forgot to add flour to the cake. Fortunately, the invention was a success and was so well-liked that it continued to be made, eventually becoming a typical sweet of the area. The second hypothesis about the origin of the Caprese says that one of the kings of Naples married into an Austrian royal family.<\/p>\n

\"Caprese<\/a><\/p>\n

They asked the cook to make them a Sacher torte. The Neapolitan pastry chef had no idea what a Sachertorte was, and the princesses knew most of the ingredients but not how to make the cake. The cook did what he could to please them, and everyone liked it just as much, if not more, than the sweet they had originally requested.<\/p>\n
