3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

This recipe was a complete disaster! The torte didn't turn out at all.

The torte didn't rise very much, so it was a bit dense. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This torte was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I should have used more milk or cream in the batter.

I'm not a huge fan of berries, but I still enjoyed this torte. The pastry cream was really good.
