The fundamental ingredients of the original recipe are: almonds, dark chocolate, eggs and butter — simple and genuine but … there’s a problem … I recently discovered I’m lactose intolerant so no butter. Until recently, the very idea of using oil in a dessert instead of butter made me shudder; then, out of necessity, I had to try it, and I discovered a whole new world. Spectacular desserts where the oil is, so to speak, “discreet” — you don’t notice it — and which are in no way inferior to those made with butter. However, I would never have dared to replace it in a cake like the caprese, where its presence is quite important. But I really wanted to eat it, and I had leftover chocolate from the Easter period, so I needed an idea, a recipe to inspire a simple and indulgent caprese without butter. I remembered reading something in the book by Master Luca Montersino … what was it? Of course: the small capresi, a recipe that reworks the classic caprese and calls for the use of olive oil. I tried it, I let myself be tempted — mostly hoping it would satisfy my cravings — and, though a bit hesitant, I set to work. I couldn’t believe it: the result was astounding, the flavor WOW, nothing to make you regret the original version: the crunch of the chocolate crust, the softness of the cake’s heart, the typical little crunch under the teeth — sheer delight — and moreover perfect not only for those who are lactose intolerant but also for those who are gluten intolerant. In short, an absolutely not-to-be-missed treat, and if you’re wondering how it’s possible to make a chocolate caprese cake without butter, well, as they said in Young Frankenstein … “IT CAN BE DONE”!
