Craig Bellamy scored on his Cardiff farewell, but Chelsea claimed a 2-1 away win on the Premier League's final day.
Chelsea end the campaign in third spot, four points adrift of champions Manchester City.
Solskjaer made two changes to his side after the 3-0 defeat at Newcastle last time out confirmed Cardiff's relegation. Bellamy and Mats Moeller Daehli replaced Bo-Kyung Kim and Wilfried Zaha.
After the 0-0 draw at home to Norwich last Sunday, Jose Mourinho made six changes to Chelsea's starting line-up. Torres, Eden Hazard and Tomas Kalas were promoted from the bench having been subs against the Canaries, while Oscar, Cesar Azpilicueta and John Obi Mikel all returned to action.
Ashley Cole captained the Blues on what could be his final appearance in the absence of John Terry (knock) and Frank Lampard (illness), both of whom are reportedly pondering contract extensions on reduced terms.
In the early stages, Steven Caulker made a superb recovery to stretch out a leg and block Torres' goalbound effort. After Caulker's initial error, goalkeeper David Marshall had dashed out of his balloon-strewn area but Torres took the ball round him, only to see Caulker deny him on the line.
Cardiff then took the lead in the 15th minute. Bellamy collected a pass in the left channel from Peter Whittingham 25 yards out, and let fly with a left-footed shot that deflected in past Mark Schwarzer off the back of Azpilicueta.
It was Cardiff's first goal in open play for more than five hours, but it might yet be credited to Chelsea's right-back as the initial shot could have been heading wide.
