TORTA CAPRESE CON LE NOCI (ITALIAN CHOCOLATE CAKE)
This is a famous Italian chocolate cake originally from Capri but popular throughout Southern Italy, where every family has its own recipe. It's a rich, dense chocolate cake that's made either with ground almonds or walnuts. Walnuts are used here, but you can substitute them with the same weight of ground almonds, if desired. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

CHOCOLATE TORTA CAPRESE
From the Isle of Capri, this flourless cake is moist and deliciously chocolatey. Can be served dusted with powdered sugar, or with raspberry sauce and a dollop of cream. For a special dinner party, I offer Whisky Oranges with Honey Cream (recipe #113108) alongside.

Steps:
- Place the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler and melt until smooth. Cool slightly, until just warm to the touch.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the inside of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Place the egg whites in a medium bowl with the salt. Place the yolks in a slightly larger bowl with the granulated sugar. Using a handheld mixer, beat the whites on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Then beat the egg yolks on medium speed until light, pale and fluffy, about 1 1/2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, stir the chocolate mixture, almond flour and vanilla into the yolks. In 2 batches, fold the whipped whites into the chocolate base. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake until puffed and beginning to crack on top, about 40 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
