This torte was a complete disaster! It fell apart when I tried to cut it, and the ganache was too runny. I would definitely not recommend this recipe.

I found this torte to be a bit dry. I think it would have been better if I had used a different type of chocolate. The raspberry filling was good, but it wasn't enough to save the torte.
