SOUR CHERRY CHOCOLATE TORTE
This is a simple, elegant chocolate dessert, with a slightly rustic look; it's perfect for dinner parties or any night. It has a wonderful combination of textures from the crust of the torte the moistness of the cake and cherries and the slight crunch from the almonds. We've been known to devour one with another couple as we played pinochle; a slice between hands and soon it would be gone! You can serve it warm (my favorite way) or at room temp. Always serve with real whipped cream.

Steps:
- Pre heat oven to 350 degrees, butter a 9" spring-form pan dust with ground almonds (or fine, dry unseasoned bread crumbs), shake out extra, set aside.
- Drain cherries, then spread in a single layer on several thicknesses of paper towel, while you continue to prepare the torte.
- Melt chocolate in double boiler or microwave, watch carefully, don't allow any water to get in the chocolate or it will seize.
- Cream the butter, add extracts and sugar, beat well; add eggs one at a time beating after each until mixed.
- On low add chocolate, beat until mixed, add almonds, then flour mixing just until incorporated.
- Spread about half or a little more of the batter into the pan (it is thick, using an offset spatula helps) place cherries one at a time over batter in a single layer, they can touch the sides, spoon and spread the remaining batter over the cherries, going slow helps prevent pull up.
- Bake 45 -50 minutes, the cake will be dry and crusty on top and a toothpick will come out clean. Cool for 15 minutes on a rack, then remove sides of the pan, let stand until almost cool ( to serve warm this is about 30 minutes).
- To remove bottom of the pan - cover cake with a rack and flip over, remove pan bottom - you may need to slip a thin spatula between the torte and pan bottom to loosen, cover cake with serving plate and flip back over ( I've been know to serve from the pan bottom, just keep your thin spatula handy).
- Note: Almonds should be finely ground in a blender or food processor, they should be almost powdery). Almond meal or almond flour (fancy names for ground almonds) can be found in some health food stores or at Trader Joes, though it can be very pricey under some labels. I prefer the freshness of grinding the almonds myself.
- Use real whipping cream unless you have dairy issues; a little kirsch added as you whip it is a nice touch.

My grandmother passed this recipe down to me years ago and now I make it for my own grandchildren. When preparing, make sure the chocolate layer is properly chilled before adding the next layer, or the coconut will sink into it. -Jason Purkey, Ocean City, Maryland

Tips:
- To make a smooth and creamy chocolate ganache, use high-quality chocolate and heavy cream. Chop the chocolate finely and heat the cream until it is just simmering. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and whisk until smooth.
- If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a 9-inch round baking pan. Just be sure to grease and flour the pan before pouring in the batter.
- To make sure the torte is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the torte is done. If not, bake for a few more minutes.
- Let the torte cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- To make the cherry topping, use fresh cherries. Pit the cherries and cut them in half. You can also use frozen cherries, but be sure to thaw them and drain them before using.
Conclusion:
This Cherry Coconut Chocolate Torte is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The chocolate ganache is smooth and creamy, the coconut adds a nice tropical flavor, and the cherries add a pop of sweetness and tartness. This torte is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
