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.

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.
