LEMON TORTA CAPRESE AUTHENTIC RECIPE



Lemon Torta Caprese Authentic Recipe image

Lemon Torta Caprese is an Italian sweet cake, very soft and with an intense lemon flavor. In Italy it's often called Torta Caprese Bianca (White Caprese Cake) so as not to confuse it with the traditional variant made with dark chocolate. Lemon Torta Caprese, in this case, is made with white chocolate, almond flour and lemons. We recommend that lemons are organic and untreated, as you will have to use their zest. Torta Caprese is a cake without flour and therefore gluten free. It was born in the early 1900s by mistake of a pastry chef from the Isle of Capri. It was a resounding success for its very soft and very tasty texture. This Torta Caprese with white chocolate and lemon is a cake that is even better if eaten the next day, which is definitely a bonus because you can make it ahead of tima. Sprinkle it with icing sugar just before serving.

If you see that the cake is becoming too dark on top and may burn, turn off the oven but leave it inside until the time runs out. Once ready, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool before serving. Lemon Torta Caprese is even better if eaten the next day sprinkled with icing sugar.
