This torte was amazing! The chocolate flavor was so rich and decadent, and the cake was moist and fluffy. I loved the chocolate ganache on top. It was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again.

This torte was okay. The chocolate flavor was good, but the cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter, more fluffy cake.
