 Torta di Siena al Cioccolato - Candied must be the orange peel, cherries and lime. Almonds must keep their skins and hazelnuts be put aside. But then come sugar, flour and honey. And cocoa's cheer. Welcome, cocoa, who gives a rounded taste to the spice of candied peel. Welcome to the chocolate cake! You were once called "black cake" in honour of the precious toasted powder coming from the New World to change the look and flavour of Siena's sweets in the XVIII century.
