Torta Caprese Al limone

This cake is from Capri Island in Italy. The original Torta Caprese is made with dark chocolate and cocoa, but this version has white chocolate, almond flour, and lemon. It is soft, moist, and has a strong lemon flavor. People love to eat it, especially in summer.The story says that a baker in Capri made a mistake in the 1920s.He forgot to put flour in the cake. But the cake was very tasty! It was crispy outside and soft inside. People loved it, and it became famous. Later, they made a lemon version with fresh lemons from Italy. 

I made this dessert, and I can say it is an easy recipe. Its taste is absolutely delicious. So, let's move on to the next recipe!
