I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my torte didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The crust was too dry and the filling was too runny.

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

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but this torte was surprisingly good. The lemon flavor was subtle and not overpowering, and the texture was light and fluffy.
