My mother-in-law first shared this recipe, and now it's often requested for birthdays and other special occasions. I like to serve it at Christmastime on an antique platter surrounded by ornaments for decoration. -Candace McClure, Brookville, Indiana

This torte is a waste of time and ingredients. It turned out dry and crumbly.

I thought this torte was just okay. It wasn't as rich and chocolatey as I was hoping for.

The torte didn't rise as much as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found the instructions a bit confusing. I think they could be written more clearly.

This torte is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

The texture of this torte is amazing. It's fudgy and chewy on the inside and has a nice crispy crust on the outside.
