TORTA CAPRESE - THE BEST CHOCOLATE ALMOND CAKE EVER



Torta Caprese - THE Best Chocolate Almond Cake Ever image

Provided by Italian Recipe Book

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6.5 oz (1 ⅔ ) cup almond flour
4.5 oz high quality dark chocolate ((melted))
4.5 oz 1 cup powdered sugar
4.5 oz unsalted butter ((softened))
3 eggs ((eggs yolks separated from the egg whites))
1 orange zest
2 tbsp quality dark liquor - Grand Marnier ((Rum or Whiskey))
1 tbsp of dark cocoa powder ((optional))
Cocoa Powder or Confectioners' sugar for decoration

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.

Provided by Robyn Doyon-Aitken

Categories     brunch     Dessert

Yield 10 people (or more)

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 ounces (2-1/2 sticks) unsalted butter (softened, plus more for the baking pan)
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for the baking pan)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup sugar
5 large eggs
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
2 cups almond flour or almond meal
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup lightly toasted sliced blanched almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour the bottom and sides of a 10-inch springform pan. Sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt onto a piece of parchment.
  • In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. At medium speed, add the eggs one at a time, mixing each in thoroughly before adding the next, and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the lemon zest and almond extract, then raise the speed to high and beat the batter until very light, a minute or more. At low speed, mix in half of the sifted flour mixture, beating just until it is incorporated; beat in half the almond flour. Scrape the bowl, and mix in the remaining flour and almond flour. Beat briefly at medium speed to make a smooth batter. At low speed, mix in the chocolate chips just until evenly distributed. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, and spread it in an even layer. Scatter the sliced almonds all over the top.
  • Bake, rotating the pan halfway through the baking time, until the cake is golden brown on top and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes on a wire rack. Run the blade of a paring knife around the edge of the cake, then open the spring and remove the side ring. Cool the cake completely before serving. Cut it into wedges, and serve.
