This is a very simple, yet delicious, dessert made with a few basic ingredients: ground walnuts, eggs, sugar and lemon. With its soft consistency and its nutty flavour, this cake is the perfect companion to a hot cup of tea on cold winter's afternoons. You can serve it 'au naturel', sprinkle it with some icing sugar or use it as a base and garnish it with a chocolate or mascarpone ganache.

'White Caprese' is a delicious alternative version to the classical Caprese chocolate cake, with which it shares some of the main ingredients - eggs, almonds and butter. Its innovation lays in the use of white chocolate to contrast the bitter flavour of the lemons. The recipe originates from the Isle of Capri, from which it takes its name.
