I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my torte didn't turn out very well. The cake was dry and the ganache was too runny.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I really enjoyed this torte. The espresso flavor really balanced out the sweetness of the chocolate.

This torte was a hit at my dinner party! It was rich and decadent, but still light and airy. The espresso ganache was the perfect finishing touch.
