Viennese Chocolate Torte

When plans fell through for my 14 year old, I offered to bake with him. This is one of his favorite cookbooks - probably because of the pictures - and he picked out this torte.

The cake portion is baked in a jelly roll pan and later cut in three parts horizontally. Simple enough and takes almost no time.

One is supposed to spread raspberry preserves between the layers but none of my boys like preserves of any kind so I used Nutella. Cake, nutella, whipped cream, cake, nutella, whipped cream, cake, cocoa glaze.

There was nothing difficult about this torte though making everything used a number of bowls, pans and utensils. It comes together pretty quickly and looks impressive to those who don't bake.
