Steps:
- Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick pans). Line bottoms only of two 13x9-inch pans with foil or waxed paper; spray with baking spray with flour.
- In large bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer on high speed about 5 minutes or until thick and lemon colored. Add cake mix, water and oil; beat on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Place half the batter (about 2 1/2 cups) in each pan. Spread batter slightly higher in corners than at the center.
- Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched in center. Run knife around edges of pans to loosen cakes if necessary. Turn each cake upside down onto clean kitchen towel each sprinkled with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar; carefully remove foil. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.
- In medium bowl, beat 3/4 cup of the whipping cream on high speed until stiff peaks form; set aside. In another medium bowl, beat cream cheese and 3 tablespoons powdered sugar on medium speed until smooth; set aside.
- In small microwavable bowl, microwave baking chips and 2 tablespoons whipping cream on High 30 seconds; stir. Microwave 15 to 30 seconds longer; stir until chips are melted. Stir melted chips into cream cheese mixture. Add whipped cream and toffee candy to mixture; stir until well blended. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- Trim edges of cakes to make even. Cut each cake in half lengthwise. If necessary, trim top of layers to make flat surface. Place 1 cake piece on serving platter; spread with one-third of the filling (about 3/4 cup). Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining cake piece. Gently press in sides to straighten; if necessary, trim sides until even. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes.
- In medium microwavable bowl, beat butter on medium speed until smooth. On low speed, beat in remaining glaze ingredients until well blended. Reserve 3/4 cup of the glaze for garnish; cover and let stand at room temperature about 30 minutes or until thick enough to pipe. Meanwhile, microwave remaining glaze on High about 10 seconds or until slightly warm and spreading consistency. Spread over top of torte, letting some drip down sides. Refrigerate torte about 30 minutes or until glaze is set.
- Spoon reserved 3/4 cup glaze into decorating bag fitted with small star tip. Pipe decorative border around top edges of torte. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. (Torte can be made 2 days ahead; wrap sides tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate.) Let cake stand at room temperature 20 minutes before serving. Store covered in refrigerator.

EASY, DECADENT, INCREDIBLY CHOCOLATEY CHOCOLATE TORTE GLUTEN FRE
Below I give you my favorite dessert recipe. It's so easy a child can do it to perfection. Just melt, mix, pour, bake. And out comes the most intense chocolate experience. I accompany this with whipped cream (beat heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until semi stiff. Use your senses, taste & smell & DO NOT overwhip. If you raise your beater, cream should hold, but needn't stand up & salute) and strawberry sauce (thaw a container of frozen strawberries or any berries and liquefy in a blender or by a hand-held). Both are ridiculously easy to make too but are celestial accompaniments to this torte.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 f.
- Butter at 9″ round cake pan, line the bottom with a round of parchment paper cut to fit, butter the paper and dust the pan with cocoa powder, shake out excess.
- Place broken up chocolate and melt with the butter in a heavy saucepan over lowest possible heat & cover. Or, you can place the pan in another pan containing simmering water. Remove cover when partially melted & stir. When fully melted, remove from heat and stir in sugar, stirring until no sugar granules are visible. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. Pour into pan and place in a jelly roll pan, adding a small amount of hot water. Bake about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool. REFRIGERATE OVERNIGHT.
- Run a sharp knife around the rim, place a cake plate or cutting board over the top of the pan, and turn it over, bang several times if you need to dislodge the cake.
- Let stand for 30-45 minutes until sides are soft enough to be smoothed with a knife. Remove parchment round.
- You can serve the whipped cream on the side. I spread all of it (I usually whip 2 cups) in a thick layer, as thick as the torte, on the torte. It looks spectacular! If you do this, refrigerate the iced torte.
- If you don't ice, sprinkle the entire top with cocoa powder. Sometimes, the top can look a little messy, but this makes it look beautiful.
- Easy? The best things are.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your torte. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense torte. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the torte in a water bath: Baking the torte in a water bath helps to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the torte from cracking.
- Let the torte cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Serve the torte at room temperature: This will allow the flavors to fully develop.
Conclusion:
This decadent chocolate torte is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It is rich, moist, and flavorful, and it is sure to impress your guests. With its elegant appearance and delicious taste, this torte is sure to be a hit at any gathering.
