Transfer the batter into the baking tin. Place it in the oven and let it bake for about 50-55 minutes at 170 degrees Celsius. To see if your torte is ready, test it with a wooden skewer. Insert the skewer into the centre of the torte and if it come out free of batter, the cake is finished baking. Let it cool to room temperature.
