Place an 8-inch baking pan with 1 inch of water in it on the bottom rack of the oven (this will create steam and make the torte more moist).

Bake torte on center rack in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until sides begin to pull away from pan and top is set in center. Cover the torte loosely with foil for the last 20 minutes of baking. Note: Don't worry if the cake cracks because the top will be on the bottom later.
