Torta Caprese - Flourless Chocolate Almond Cake

Torta Caprese is a classic Italian flourless chocolate cake originating from the island of Capri. It is incredibly rich, moist, and naturally gluten-free, featuring a wonderful texture from ground almonds and whipped egg whites. Chef's tips: (1) Do not over-process the almonds; keeping some small chunks adds a delightful crunch to the cake's texture. (2) Make sure the melted chocolate mixture has cooled down slightly before adding it to the egg yolks to prevent cooking the eggs. (3) Use a clean, grease-free bowl and beaters when whipping the egg whites to ensure they reach the proper stiff peak stage. (4) Fold the egg whites very gently to maintain the airy structure since this flourless cake relies on them for rise.
