The perfect recipe for anyone looking to avoid gluten, Torta Caprese uses finely ground almonds in place of flour, giving this rich cake a deliciously dense, almost chewy texture. Saturated with plenty of dark chocolate, this is the perfect one-tin dessert recipe for any occasion – simply dust with icing sugar, slice, and serve.
