This torte was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would have preferred a lighter, fluffier texture.

I'm not a huge fan of basil, but I decided to give this torte a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The basil flavor was subtle and not overpowering at all. The torte was very moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This torte was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The mascarpone filling was very rich and creamy, and the basil added a nice flavor. I would recommend using less sugar in the recipe, or using a different type of filling.
