CAPRESE CAKE WITH ORANGE, almond and white chocolate cake, simple and tasty, perfect to serve after lunch or dinner or for Sunday, without butter, flour, and yeast.
The orange caprese cake is a variation of the typical Neapolitan recipe from the Amalfi Coast, the lemon caprese which is obviously different from the classic chocolate one for the presence of citrus fruits and obviously white chocolate.
It’s very easy to prepare, the perfect Sunday cake in my opinion, it’s moist, melts in your mouth, it’s a delight the orange caprese, a very high-calorie dessert but if it has to be good we don’t have to think about the calories.
Obviously, if you don’t like orange you can vary with lemon or make the typical dark chocolate cake which is a real delight or with walnuts, with hazelnuts.
Follow me in the kitchen today there’s the orange caprese cake!
