  Very easy to make and the cake with the rasberry was beautiful, however the glaze made it far to heavy for mine and my friends tastes, have tried it again with white chocolate glaze and this was given a huge thumbs up

  Delicious and beautiful! A real hit. Be warned: if you're using frozen raspberries, they disintegrate slightly when defrosted, which lends the final decoration a slightly "grand guignol" look (still tasty though!

  Very easy to make, and just requires a bit of faith in recipe, as it does 'set' beautifully. I didn't bother to glaze the sides as was in a bit of a rush, but honestly don't think my friends minded!

  Absolutely delicious! Need to let the sponge cool quite a bit before handling it. Building the Torte was the hardest part. A real crowd pleaser! Will definitely make again!

  Just finished making for a girly get together.Everything was going well until i made the glaze!Ran out of 70% chocolate so mixed some 85% with it,is this why it went lumpy and oily!!!!!!!!!!!!

  This sounds soooooo yummy!! Making it for Mothers Day tomorrow!! I was just wondering can you use already ground almonds because that sounds easier than grounding them up yourself and is all that dark chocolate not too rich? I mean for people who don't like dark chocolate...can you use milk chocolate for the torte and the ganache?

  Absolutely Fabulous. Made this last minute to take to a BBQ as did not have time to make a pav. Used ground almonds and did not have raspberry jam, so used strawberry. Very easy and had the wow factor. Perfect for those who do not like very sweet desserts.

  This is one of my favourite, indulgent chocolate cake recipes ever! So quick and easy, so rich and luxurious! However I found that using 70% cocoa chocolate was just a little on the rich side, so I normally use half milk choc and half 70% choc just to tone it down slightly. I have even made this with strawberry jam and strawberries, just as beautiful!
