Note: I adapted a few of the ingredients here based on what I actually used. I substituted coconut oil for grapeseed oil, and used only half the amount. For the other half, I substituted the oil with applesauce. I also used Trader Joe's brand semisweet chocolate chips and added a dash of orange juice, and the torte turned out fabulous.
