Tips:

- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning. This allows them to blend together evenly and smoothly. - Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture. If buttermilk is unavailable, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes. - Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense torte. Mix only until the ingredients are combined. - Bake the torte in a preheated oven. This helps to create an even bake. - Allow the torte to cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting. - Use a variety of toppings to decorate the torte. Popular options include fresh berries, whipped cream, and chocolate chips.
