This torte is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I probably won't make it again.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my torte didn't rise very much. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as fluffy as I expected.

I think this torte would be even better if it was served with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

This torte is very dense, which I personally don't prefer, but it's still very flavorful.

I would have liked the chocolate ganache to be a little richer, but overall this torte is very good.
