Prepare the Pan:

Bake the Torte:

Cool and Serve:
- Once baked, remove the torte from the oven and invert it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
- Carefully remove the torte from the springform pan once cooled.
- Dust the top of the torte with confectioners’ sugar for a beautiful finishing touch.
