This came out quite lovely. I used nutriwhip instead of the frozen dessert topping, which I whipped up in advance and added some confectioner's sugar to to sweeten it up a bit. I also frosted the sides of the cake. I had may great reviews, and it really ended the meal nicely as it was not overly sweet. I will be using this recipe again, perhaps trying different flavours of cake to use as a base.

This was sooo good. I followed the recipe exactly. My favorite part is definitely the creamy TOPPING and my only complaint is that there isn't enough of it! I definitely reccomend doubleing the topping (cream, powdered sugar, & cocoa). By the way, the reviewer who said the topping was runny must not have beaten it enough. I used the 'whisk' attatchment for my mixers and beat it thoroughly, and it turned out nice and thick. The cake itself is a little dense and spongey for my taste (all those egg whites!), but it is good, and low in fat. I looove that topping, though, and the filling is very good as well! I might try adding coffee and almond extract to a simple chocolate cake mix, and make the filling and topping from this recipe to go with it. Thanks for sharing the recipe, Diane!

I had an issue with the topping...I followed the directions but the topping came out EXTREMELY runny; in fact it dribbled all down the sides of the torte. Maybe I didn't beat it long enough, I don't know, but the torte overall came out DELICIOUS!

This recipe is amazing!!! It went straight to my favorites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
