Makes one 8-inch torte
Tortes usually require some planning. You can bake the cake layers in advance and keep them well wrapped in the refrigerator or freezer. Simple syrup and soft ganache also hold well, so that you can make them when you have time. But, the sabayon filling must be made just before you pour it into the mold so that the gelatin doesn’t set up too much. Stainless-steel cake rings look like cake or tart pans without a bottom and are used to both bake and mold cakes, tortes, and tarts. They are available in various sizes, from 2 1/2- to 12-inches in diameter and from 3/4- to 3-inches high.
