Amazingly easy and wonderful for controlled Carb Diets
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this recipe I have made it several times doing different things each time. My family loved the one where I replaced... the Hazelnuts with Peanuts. My husband said it tasted like a reese peanut butter cup. I kind of think it is funny when people complain about how dense it is and how it doesn't rise because that is what I love about it. Due to its density you only need a little bit to have a great dessert. I made it all the time when I was pregnant with my second child because my Doc. had me on a controlled carb diet and due to the little amount of flour and sugar involved it was a great treat for me. I would highly recommend this.Read more

A Failure of a Cake
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe exactly, except substituting pecans for hazelnuts and it came out terrible. It didn't rise at all. It... was more like a pancake than a cake. I realized that the recipe doesn't even have any leavening, so I don't know how it would even rise if it could. The taste was alright, nothing special. Avoid it.Read more

will try again
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I tried this cake to see if it is worth making for guests. Good thing I did because it takes a lot longer to bake than the... suggested 20-25 minutes. It tastes great.Read more

Easy to make and tastes great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This torte was very easy to make. I did not have hazelnuts so I substituted toasted almonds and it tasted very good. Tastes... better the longer it sits!Read more

" Wow "
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is amazing. And so very simple. I did however increase the amount of chocolate to 8oz. as advised in previous... ratings. I also had to increase the bake time to 27 minutes. I will make this again.Read more
