- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense torte. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the torte before serving: Chilling the torte for at least 4 hours, or overnight, will allow the flavors to meld and the torte to set properly.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the torte: A sharp knife will help you get clean, even slices of torte.
