This torte was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This torte was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter, more airy texture.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I actually really enjoyed this torte. The sour cream made it really light and fluffy, and the chocolate flavor wasn't too overpowering.

This torte was easy to make and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more sour cream to the batter. I think it would make the torte even more moist.
