Torta caprese and a coffee-free tiramisu: Kate and Giancarlo Caldesi’s Italian pudding recipes
A classic flourless chocolate cake and a fruity twist on tiramisu will bring the Italian sun to your table
Surrounded by lemon groves, almond and walnut trees, and with the Arab influence of the middle ages, the Amalfi coast boasts some of the best cakes and tarts in Italy – and that’s not even counting the ice-cream and granita sold on every street corner. Today’s dense, indulgent chocolate tart, for instance, which hails from Capri, is packed with little nuggets of almonds, while the lighter take on the classic tiramisu features a strawberry sauce that’s a wonderfully versatile thing to have in the fridge: it will add a burst of flavour to a bowl of thick yoghurt with sliced banana or to vanilla ice-cream, and also looks fantastic swirled into a glass of prosecco.
