How to Make Sour Cherry Chocolate Torte

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Stir in the sour cherries and chopped almonds.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Let the torte cool in the pan for 10 minutes before releasing the sides of the springform pan. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar (optional). Serve warm or at room temperature with freshly whipped cream.
