Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the taste of your torte. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao content and has a smooth, rich flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the torte tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help it to hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
- Bake the torte until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking the torte will make it dry and crumbly.
- Let the torte cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
