TORTA CAPRESE - THE BEST CHOCOLATE ALMOND CAKE EVER
Steps:
- Melt chocolate using a double-boiler or bain-marie method. Place a heat resistant glass bowl or a metal bowl with chocolate broken into small pieces over a pan (pot) with a boiling water in a way that the bottom of the top bowl with chocolate doesn't touch the water in the bottom pan.
- Water should continue to boil on a low heat. Occasionally stir the melting chocolate. When chocolate is completely melted - set aside.
- If you are using whole almonds, blanch almonds for 60 seconds first boiling than in cold water. Peel off the skin, quickly dry in the oven. Process in a food processor into fine grind flour.
- Ready-to-use almond flour definitely saves you some time and you can find it without a hustle at a grocery store or order online.
- NOTE: If you are using a store-bought almond flour make sure you read the ingredients. Very important. Occasionally you can come across and almond flour mix that usually has 50% almond flour 50% powdered sugar. And you can still use it for this recipe if you not need any additional powdered sugar in this case, except for 2 tbsp to beat the egg whites.
- Separate egg yolks from the egg whites. Make sure there are not egg yolk bits in the egg whites! This is the reason why I recommend separating one egg at a time over a spare bowl, so that even if one egg yolk gets broken it doesn't damage the rest of the egg whites in the bowl.
- Beat egg yolks with half of the powdered sugar until fluffy. At this stage add rum or Grand Marnier if you have it.
- In the meantime your melted chocolate has cooled down a bit and it's a perfect time to add softened butter, grated orange zest and dark (bitter) cocoa powder. Mix everything well.
- Fold in the egg yolk mix into the chocolate mix. Stir in the almond flour.
- Beat the eggs whites with remaining powdered sugar until soft peaks form (about 5 minutes starting low and slowly increasing the speed).
- If you are using a standing mixer it's a perfect time to grease your cake mold and preheat the oven to 350F.
- To prevent our cake from sticking deadly to the mold we are first greasing it with butter, then covering with some flour. Just regular all purpose flour. BUT if you are making this for someone with gluten intolerance make sure you use corn flour or other gluten-free flour instead.
- I like to use a springform baking pan but any pan with removable bottom will do.
- Now that your egg whites have a perfect soft peak consistency start gently folding them into the chocolate almond dough. One or two scoops at a time. This is very important. If you throw in all eggs white at the same time or mix to intensely they will loose their fluffy and soft consistency and make your cake.
- Carefully pour in our chocolate almond cake into prearranged pan. With a spatula level all the bumps on the surface of the cake until smooth top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes.
- At a 30-minute mark do a toothpick test.
- Stick in a toothpick in the middle of the cake if it comes out dry or with a few breadcrumbs - the cake is ready. And it's important to not overcook this cake so that it retains its wonderful moist texture on the inside and crusty top on the outside.
- Let the cake cool for 20-30 minutes still in the baking pan before removing it. If removed too fast there is a risk to break it.
- Dust the top with confectioners/ powdered sugar or cocoa powder.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare three 6-inch cake pans or two 8-inch cake pans by spraying the sides with cooking spray and fitting the bottoms with a wax paper or parchment cake circle.
- Place all of the dry ingredients into the bowl of a stand mixer and stir on low for 30 seconds to fully combine them. Add the vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla, and buttermilk and mix on low until just combined. With the mixer still on low, add the hot (just boiled) water in a slow stream, then turn the mixer to medium and beat until smooth, about 2 minutes. The batter will be very thin.
- Pour into prepared cake pans no more than 2/3 full and bake for 40-45 minutes, until a wooden toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
- Add the ruby chocolate into a glass bowl and microwave for 30 seconds. Stir, then microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir until all the ruby chocolate is melted and there are no lumps. Alternatively, you can melt the ruby chocolate using a double boiler. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on high until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Turn the mixer to low, add the powdered sugar, and mix until well combined. Scrape down the bowl and paddle, give the melted ruby chocolate a few stirs and make sure it's not hot enough to melt the butter (if it is still too hot, wait a few minutes before adding!), then add it in. Turn the mixer to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes, until the mixture is smooth. Add the vanilla, heavy whipping cream, and salt and beat for another minute on medium.
- Place the chopped ruby cacao into a glass or metal bowl and set aside. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, warm heavy whipping cream until it just starts to boil. I always look for small bubbles forming around the edge and a soft boil starting in the middle. When you see that it's just starting to boil, pour it over the ruby cacao bits and let sit for about 20 seconds.
- Whisk it together until it's uniform in consistency and there are no bits of chocolate left on your whisk. Add a drop or two of Americolor Fuschia or pink food color gel of your choice if you want (the natural ganache color turns out more beige-toned for some reason).
- Cool ganache at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until the ganache itself is close to room temperature (a little warmer may be fine depending on how thin you like your drips).
- When the chocolate cake layers have cooled completely, torte them before filling and frosting with ruby chocolate buttercream. Chill the frosted cake in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before dripping with the room temperature ruby chocolate ganache. It's always best to do a test drip on the cake before dripping the whole thing - that way you can see whether you need to cool the ganache more or gently warm it in the microwave before committing to dripping the rest of the cake.
- After dripping the cake with ganache, place it in the refrigerator for at least five minutes to let it set. To create the design pictured, place a few tempered ruby chocolate disks on top of the cake (I splatter painted mine with Americolor Bright White). Use the remaining ruby chocolate buttercream to pipe rosettes with Wilton tip 1M and stars with Wilton tip 4B wherever you desire!

ITALIAN FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE
Just east of Bologna, Italy, the walled city of Ferrara is known for la torta tenerina, a kind of chocolate cake with an almost creamy interior and a thin, crisp crust. It's a simple confection, and even still, it's said that every baker and home cook has his or her own recipe. This version comes from Eleonora Masiero and Ennio Occhiali at Cusina e Butega, a combination bakery and restaurant.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8-inch cake pan. Line bottom with parchment.
- In a large bowl, using a mixer or by hand, beat the 7 tablespoons butter with the confectioners' sugar until smooth and creamy. Melt chocolate in a pan on top of stove. Pour warm chocolate over the butter and sugar mixture and beat until smooth. Whisk in egg yolks one at a time. Stir in potato starch.
- In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in superfine sugar and continue beating until firm peaks develop. Fold egg whites into chocolate mixture.
- Scrape the batter out of the bowl, and spread it in the pan. Bake for 18 minutes. Cake will rise and top will look dry and a little crackly. Remove pan from oven, place on a rack and allow to cool completely, about 2 hours. Cake will sink a bit.
- Unmold cake, peel off parchment, then invert onto a serving dish so the crackly surface is on top. Generously sift confectioners' sugar over the top, then serve.

4.3/5 (4)Published Mar 3, 2022Category Desserts, Recipe Roundup
- Easy Ciambella Recipe (Italian Breakfast Cake) Ciambella cake is similar to an American bundt cake; it features a comparable shape and uses similarly simple ingredients.
- Homemade Italian Cream Cake. This pillowy soft, ultra-moist cake features the sweet flavors of coconut and vanilla and includes a cup of chopped pecans for added texture and nuttiness.
- Italian Style Lemon Ricotta Cake. Ricotta cheese is such a strange, versatile food, and no one can use it as expertly as Italian chefs. They move it flawlessly back and forth between sweet and savory foods, adding it to things like lasagna and cakes in equal measure.
- Cassata Ricotta (Sponge Cake with Ricotta) Here’s another delicious cake featuring ricotta cheese. This one is light and spongy, and it’s covered on all sides with thick and creamy ricotta icing.
- Italian Lemon Olive Oil Cake. This cake looks delicate and elegant, but it’s packed with vibrant lemon flavor. It takes less than an hour to make and is lightly sweet (beneath all the lemon zestiness).
- Italian Chocolate Walnut Cake (Torta di Noci) You’ve probably already noticed that many Italian cakes come sans frosting. That’s not true of all of them, of course, but it’s true of many.
- Cannoli Pound Cake. You’ve probably heard of cannoli, but cannoli pound cake might not be something you’re familiar with. It has the same sweet, tangy, and chocolate-filled taste as authentic cannoli.
- Zuccotto. Even if you’ve never heard the word ‘zuccotto’ before, I’ll bet you’ve seen one of these famous dome-shaped cakes in a movie or television show.
- Classic Italian Rainbow Cake. Classic Italian rainbow cake is a super-sized cake that’s multicolored on the inside and covered in chocolate ganache and sprinkles on the outside.
- Italian Panettone. Panettone is another tall cake famous for its height and domed top. It’s somewhere between bread and cake, and it has an odd, almost cotton-candy-like texture that’ll remind you of a king cake.
