Frequently Asked Questions About Caprese Cake
How do you make Caprese Cake?
Caprese Cake is made with chocolate, ground almonds, eggs, sugar, and butter. Melt the chocolate, mix it with the yolks and almonds, then gently fold in whipped egg whites and bake until the center is set but still moist.
What is Caprese Cake?
Caprese Cake is a rich Italian chocolate-and-almond cake associated with the island of Capri. Its traditional version contains no wheat flour, and its signature texture is dense and moist with a lightly cracked top.
Why is Caprese Cake called Caprese Cake?
Caprese Cake takes its name from Capri, the Italian island with which the dessert is associated. It is commonly known in Italy as torta caprese, a chocolate and almond cake that became a signature local dessert.
Is Caprese Cake made with flour?
Traditional Caprese Cake is made without wheat flour; ground almonds give it structure instead. Recipes can vary, and commercially prepared cakes may have a risk of cross-contact, so check with the bakery if that matters to you.
Why did my Caprese Cake sink in the middle?
Caprese Cake can sink if it is underbaked or if the whipped egg whites lose too much air when folded into the batter. Fold gently, and make sure the center is set before taking the cake out of the oven.
What should the texture of Caprese Cake be like?
Caprese Cake should be moist, dense, and tender, rather than light and fluffy. Its center should not be raw or runny; let the cake cool fully before slicing so it can set and hold its shape.
Does Caprese Cake need to be refrigerated?
Caprese Cake does not need refrigeration for short-term storage in a cool room; keep it covered so it does not dry out. Refrigerate it if your kitchen is warm or you need to keep it longer, and bring it toward room temperature before serving.
Can you freeze Caprese Cake?
Yes, Caprese Cake freezes well. Cool it completely, wrap individual slices airtight, and freeze them; thaw a slice in the refrigerator, then let it come to room temperature for a softer texture.
What is the difference between Caprese Cake and a brownie?
Caprese Cake is a baked almond-and-chocolate cake with a set, tender crumb, while brownies are usually denser and often rely on wheat flour. Caprese Cake’s ground almonds give it a distinct nutty flavor and texture.
What do you serve with Caprese Cake?
Serve Caprese Cake with espresso, black coffee, or unsweetened tea to balance its rich chocolate flavor. Fresh berries or a little whipped cream also work well, though the cake is often served simply with a dusting of powdered sugar.

What is Caprese Cake?
Caprese Cake is a chocolate-and-almond cake associated with the island of Capri in southern Italy. Ground almonds take the place of wheat flour, giving the cake a tender, moist centre and a delicate crust. Its flavour is deeply chocolatey, with a rounded nuttiness rather than the light, airy texture of a sponge cake.
In Italy, it is often served in slices with coffee after a meal or as an afternoon treat; elsewhere, it also works well with tea. Almonds and chocolate make it rich and energy-dense, at 420 calories per 100 g. Serve modest slices, perhaps with fresh berries or unsweetened coffee, for a less heavy dessert.
