Cherry-Glazed Chocolate/Cream Cheese Torte

"One of my husband's co-workers brought this into work. He loved it so much he asked her for the recipe -- it's a quick and easy recipe and I've made it many times to bring to family get-togethers for those with a "sweet tooth". Cooking time does not include chilling time."

  • In a small bowl, stir together flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; gradually add to egg mixture, beating until well-blended. Spread into prepared pan.

  1. My hubby and I found this recipe in the Hershey's Best Loved Recipes book and were so astounded by the picture, we just had to try it. Presentation wise, this cake is a beauty! As far as taste goes, we found the torte bottom to be a little too distracting from the amazing cherry cheesecake topping. I guess we expected the chocolate portion to taste a little lighter/sweeter in order to blend better with those flavors above, but I'm sure that's just personal preferences on our part. It was still lovely (I'll post our pic), the toppings were delicious, and we enjoyed making it. Thanks for posting!

Our family moved to Florida from New York in the 90's, so I've brought not only many of the recipes my family has passed down, but have learned to cook some great Southern dishes as well.? When I found RZ, it opened up a whole new world of cooking -- cuisine from different countries, tried-and-true family hand-me-down recipes, and some interesting and delicious dishes I would never have found on my own.
