This torte is a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if it had less sugar.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my torte turned out really dry. I think I might have needed to add more liquid.

I had some trouble getting the torte to set properly. I think I might have overbaked it a little bit.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I really enjoyed this torte. The sour cream mellows out the chocolate flavor and makes it more palatable for me.

This torte is the perfect combination of sweet and sour. The chocolate is rich and decadent, while the sour cream adds a bit of tanginess that balances it out perfectly.
