The ganache was too thick and goopy. I had to add more cream to make it pourable.

I had trouble getting the torte to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

The torte was a bit dry. I think it would have been better if I had used a different type of coffee.

I found this torte to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the frosting.
