This recipe combines three of my very favorite recipes that are already on the blog: flourless chocolate cake<\/a>, chocolate ganache<\/a>, and homemade whipped cream<\/a>. Each one of these recipes is a homerun recipe all on it’s own. But put them all together and literally<\/em> add the cherry on top? It just doesn’t get any better than this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recipe Notes & Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  • In this recipe, I picked the cherries out of the pie filling and used them in a separate layer<\/strong>. I did this because I really wanted a gorgeous cherry center layer that broke up the chocolate and the whipped cream. But when I tried just adding the entire pie filling, the center glooped out and the cake didn’t hold it’s shape. Using the method that I did accomplished the look I wanted and gave the cake stability at the same time. However, feel free to just spread the pie filling on top of the whipped cream<\/strong> if you don’t care about having a center layer of cherries.<\/li>
  • Use any garnish you want for the top! White chocolate and chocolate shavings or curls would be beautiful! I used miniature chocolate chips, because they are so easy! I also added some almond slices, because I like having a little crunch in each bite. They break up the other colors and textures nicely.<\/li>
  • If you don’t have a springform pan, that’s okay! You’re torte will just have a slightly more “rustic” look, and that can be beautiful too. If you’re not using a springform pan, you’ll probably want to plan on using a little less ganache and not all of the cherry pie filling so that it doesn’t all go sliding off the edges of the cake.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
