Venus Torte

A torte is usually a kind of cake, but is often made with ground nuts instead of flour. This is different-it may look simply like an iced cake, but it provides an exciting surprise, for within the cream cheese and toasted hazelnut exterior is a rich and fluffy chocolate mousse, all on a crunchy chocolate base. It is an extravagant recipe for a special occasion, but it justifies its divine name!
