Chocolate Olive Oil Cake
Torta al Cioccolato con Olio d’Oliva
In this cake, fruity smooth olive oil rounds out the cocoa, while the ground almonds give the cake a more toothsome crumb. Nut proteins, gourmet cocoa powder, heart-healthy almond oil all conspire to make this rich, dark chocolate cake practically healthy! Dress this classy lady up with fresh fruit compote, whipped cream, vanilla pudding, ice cream, or just eat straight out of the box. Gluten free and Passover friendly.
Radicchio Cake
Torta al Radicchio di Chiogga
Bitter radiccio… in a cake? Carrots in a cake without de rigeur cream cheese frosting? After tasting this cake from the town of Chiogga in the Veneto, you won’t need to ask these questions anymore. Moist but unpredictable, sweet but healthy, nutty but delicate, creamy but freezeable, you’ll be coming back for this dolci. With these ingredients, go ahead and “eat your tarte out” even if it is just 7:00AM.
Almond Cake
Torta di Mandorle
After you’ve gotten acquainted with Italian almond cake, your counter will feel naked and your kitchen will feel empty without this cake sitting in it. Rustic, dense, super almondy, and slightly crunch on the top from toasted sliced almonds and caramelly, large-grained Turbinado sugar, this cake makes an unforgettable, if not unorthodox, meal with a chunk of Parmeggiano Reggiano and a handful of kumquats. Buy one every week!
Triple Orange Olive Oil Cake
Torta all’ Arancia Triplice
Homemade candied orange peel, pure orange essence and two whole pureed oranges (peel, pith and pulp!) make this cake a citris powerhouse. Moro blood orange cake is available in winter months. Mellow extra virgin olive oil provides a heart-healthy moist interior. This cake’s sweet floral orange flavor rewards you with an appealing al dente chew when you bite into the orange peel. A dark chocolate Ghirardelli drizzle jazzes up the top. Enjoy as a brunch cake, an after school snack, dessert, or anytime the winter doldrums give you a craving for a sunny vibe.
