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

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

  • 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.

I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but I really enjoyed this torte. The chocolate flavor is rich and decadent, but it's not too overpowering. The cream cheese filling and cherry glaze are also delicious.

I made this torte for my husband's birthday and he loved it! He said it was the best chocolate cake he's ever had. The glaze is a bit messy to work with, but it's worth it for the flavor.
