This torte was a little too tart for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less cranberries.

This orange cranberry torte was a delightful treat! The combination of citrus and tart cranberries was perfectly balanced, and the crumbly crust added a nice texture. I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out beautifully. My family loved it!
