Somewhat in that both torta caprese and almond flour chocolate cake use almond flour! Other than that they are a bit different. Torta caprese (or caprese cake) is an Italian chocolate almond cake. It originated on the island of Capri and is a flourless chocolate cake made with melted chocolate, almond flour (or meal), granulated sugar and butter. All the ingredients are equal in weight. While both cakes are rich, fudgy and flour free, my recipe for chocolate almond cake uses no butter, no refined sugar and swaps melted chocolate for superfood cacao powder.
