Caprese chocolate cake is a dessert made with almonds and chocolate originating from Capri. A dessert born by chance from an error by the pastry chef Carmine di Fiore, who forgot to add the flour to the dough, creating a completely gluten free dessert. The result was a melt in your mouth, truffle-like, moist, delicious, and fragrant cake which later became a cornerstone of Neapolitan pastry making. One of the best desserts produced and purchased in pastry shops in Naples and the province. Buon Appetito!
