Cherry-Glazed Chocolate/Cream Cheese Torte image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup Cool Whip, thawed
21 ounces cherry pie filling, divided

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom of 9-inch springform pan. In large bowl, stir together butter, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs; using spoon, beat well.
  • 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.
  • Bake 25-30 minutes or until cake is set. (Cake will be fudgey; wooden pick inserted in center will not come out clean.) Cool completely in pan on wire rack.

Spread 1 cup cherry pie filling over cream layer; refrigerate 3 hours. With knife, loosen cake from side of pan; remove side of pan. Serve with some remaining pie filling around each slice of the torte, if desired. Cover and refrigerate leftover torte.

This torte is amazing! It's so rich and decadent, but not too sweet. The chocolate and cream cheese flavors are perfect together, and the cherry glaze is the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This torte is rich and decadent, but not too sweet. The chocolate flavor is perfect and the cream cheese filling is smooth and creamy. The cherry glaze is a nice addition, but I think it would be just as good without it.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate desserts, but this torte changed my mind. The chocolate flavor is rich and decadent, but not too overpowering. The cream cheese filling is light and fluffy, and the cherry glaze is the perfect finishing touch.
