This Shmoo Torte was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my Shmoo Torte didn't turn out very well. It was dry and crumbly.

I didn't like the orange glaze on this Shmoo Torte. I think it would be better with a chocolate glaze.

The Shmoo Torte was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would use less flour next time.

I found this Shmoo Torte to be a bit dry. I think I would add more butter or oil next time.

I substituted almond flour for the all-purpose flour and it turned out great! The Shmoo Torte was still moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again with almond flour.
