    Drop chocolate mixture by teaspoonfuls over batter, dropping more around edge than in center. Stir pecans into reserved cake mixture; crumble over batter. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until center is set; cool 10 minutes. Remove side of pan; cool completely, about 2 hours. Store covered.

  • Slivered or sliced almonds make a good alternative to the pecans.
  • What to do with leftover sweetened condensed milk? Try drizzling over baked apples 15 minutes before they’re done for a sweet and shiny finish!
  • Serve torte with an easy fudge sauce. In small microwavable bowl, microwave 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk and 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips uncovered on Medium (50%) about 1 minute or until chocolate can be stirred smooth. Stir in 2 tablespoons whipping cream.
