A classic dessert from the Campania region, Torta Caprese is made following the instructions of master pastry chef Sal de Riso, who combines almond flour with hazelnut flour and uses grated chocolate instead of melted. I often use this recipe as a base for other desserts, replacing chocolate sponge cake, since it’s naturally gluten-free—especially for soft tart bases that I then fill in various ways.

Steps

  1. 1

    To make the Torta Caprese, start by placing the softened butter, half of the powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes, then add the pinch of salt and the egg yolks, also at room temperature.
