The Caprese pie combines chocolate, butter, sugar
The Caprese pie combines chocolate, butter, sugar, eggs and flour, and was originally developed in Capri, becoming a local gastronomic icon and a sweet traditionally served on special occasions. The addition of black or white chocolate grains gives the irresistible sweet a distinctive flavor. Originating from the Island of Capri, the Caprese Pie, without added flour, was supposedly born from a manufacturing accident, and there are three stories about its invention. One of them involves a nervous woman who forgot the flour when making a cake for American gangsters. Another story tells of a pastry chef who mistook cocoa powder for flour, while the third legend suggests that a clumsy baker added almonds instead of flour... Did you know?
