When dealing with food:
Al is used for flavorings= il gelato al cioccolato Chocolate (flavored) ice cream
Di is used for composition=gelato de soia ice cream made of soy (instead of with milk/cream)
So in our instance torta dolce doesn't need either. Dolce is neither the composition or the flavor (it can be a chocolate, strawberry or any other flavored tart/cake/pie) of the tart/cake/pie. It's what it tastes like.

except when it is a savory cake of course, like quiche, or when you forgot to put sugar in the cake

does dolce always mean a sweet taste, or can it be used colloquially as in "Dude! That cake is sweet! I wish my cake looked like that!"
