Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the torte will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the torte tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the torte until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached: Overbaking will make the torte dry.
- Let the torte cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Use ripe bananas for the caramelized bananas: Ripe bananas are sweeter and have a better flavor.
- Don't cook the bananas for too long: Overcooked bananas will become mushy.
- Serve the torte immediately: The torte is best served warm, with the caramelized bananas and white chocolate mousse.
