amandovolo
cake covered with chocolate and almonds
The pride of Porto San Giorgio, invented in the 1940s by a master baker from Turin, this rich cake is made egg yolks, butter, orange zest, crushed almonds, sugar, wheat and potato flour; it's left to cool overnight, then covered in dark chocolate and crushed toasted hazelnuts (or almonds).
Also spelled amanduvolo.
