This torte was a disaster! It was dry, crumbly, and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Overall, I enjoyed this torte. It was a nice change from my usual chocolate cake recipe. I would recommend it to anyone who loves chocolate and nuts.

The torte was easy to make and turned out beautifully. However, it was a bit dry. I think I would add some more liquid next time, maybe some milk or coffee.

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 next time.
