THe torte had incredible flavor and a lovely texture. My husband, who isn't a big dessert fan, loved it and my mother couldn't stop complimenting me. I brought the leftovers to the office where I received more compliments and a request for the recipe. Easy to make and receives high marks for good presentation. A great recipe for little effort.
