I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have a springform pan. Do you think I could use a regular cake pan instead?

I'm not sure I did something wrong, but my torte didn't turn out as pictured. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as visually appealing.

I had some trouble getting the cake layers to bake evenly. The top was a little overdone while the bottom was still a little underdone.

I'm not a big fan of coffee, but this torte was still amazing. The chocolate cake was rich and decadent, and the cream filling was perfectly sweet.

I've made this torte several times and it's always a hit. The only thing I do differently is add a little bit of espresso powder to the chocolate cake batter. It gives it an extra depth of flavor.
