Here is the recipe of torta caprese, an old Neapolitan dessert. It was born out of a mistake, but throughout the years it has become really popular. It's a delicious cake with a spongy texture. This dessert is also perfect for those who are intolerant to gluten due to the absence of flour, and to those who are intolerant to yeast, since baking powder is not included in the recipe.
