Chocolate and Chili Pepper Cake
Torta Tenerina is typical of the city of Ferrara, in Emilia-Romagna. It is an ancient dessert that dates back to the early 1900s. We have revisited the classic recipe replacing the butter with our Everyday Kitchen Olive Oil and making it "throb" like a heart in love with a touch of Chili Pepper Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
