I don't know if it's because it was a torte and not necessarily a cake, but it was pretty dry. The melted chocolate chips did not mix completely with the whipped topping. Presentation wise, it looks great with the raspberries but it looked better than it tasted. No one was overly excited about it after trying it.

MMmmm! Great recipe. I buttered and floured the pan instead of using waxed paper. It came out just fine. I would definitely make this again. Probably soon, since my kids thought this was a great dessert.
