Ground almonds - also known as regular almond flour in the US (ground almonds without the skin not superfine) almond meal (with skin) would also work. If you plan on making your own ground almonds then you can grind the same amount of almonds in weight (not cups) in a powerful food processor.

The three Americans were 100% satisfied, even to ask for the recipe. Chef Carmine di Fiore continued to prepare the torta caprese even later and it liked a lot. It was a great success!
