I'm not sure what went wrong, but my torte didn't turn out at all. It was dry and crumbly, and the ganache was too thin.

This torte was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter, more airy texture.

I had some trouble getting the ganache to set properly. I ended up having to put it in the fridge for a few hours before it was firm enough to spread.

This torte was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using a bittersweet chocolate instead of semisweet.

This chocolate torte was divine! The texture was rich and velvety, and the chocolate flavor was deep and decadent. I loved the addition of the espresso powder, which gave the torte a nice little kick. I will definitely be making this again!
