Calling all beer and bourbon lovers... this cake is for you!

Ever since my last visit to Capri, I've fallen in love with the traditional flourless cake known as Torta Caprese. (I even made a lemon version - which probably surprises nobody!) I just love the rich, decadent texture that almond flour gives to the cake - which just so happens to make it gluten free, as well. For this version, I did something a little more festive! I added Guinness stout to the batter (but you could experiment with any stout beer!), which makes this a really festive dessert option for St. Patrick's day

To bring it home, I added just a shot or so of bourbon to the whipped cream topping. The bite all together is so delicious, chocolately, and feels really fun and party-ready.
