Like Insalata Caprese, this cake’s name tells you just where it’s from: Capri (pronounced CAH-pree, not ca-PREE). This was a favorite of my maternal grandmother, who was diagnosed with celiac disease in the late 1970s when relatively few gluten-free dessert options existed for her at Italian American pastry shops. She never did get to Capri to taste the real thing, but it’s such a simple, straightforward cake that it’s easy to faithfully reproduce anywhere. In my experience, the only thing a torta caprese served in the Bay of Naples has over one you make at home is that it’s decorated with confectioners’ sugar applied with a stencil sold locally featuring the faraglioni, rock formations off the coast of the island, and the word Caprese.
