I don’t know where my mother got this recipe, but it’s worked for this
novice cook several times:
Melt 1/4 cup margarine and add 1 cup crushed chocolate wafers (we use
Nabisco’s Famous brand) or crushed ginger snaps. Press into bottom of 10
inch springform pan. Slowly melt 8 ounces semisweet chocolate. Combine
cream cheese, sugar and eggs, one at a time. Add the melted chocolate,
cocoa, vanilla and (lastly) the sour cream. Once the mixture is thoroughly
and smoothly combined, pour it into the spring-form pan with the crust.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour 10 minutes. Don’t be surprised
if, when you take the cake out of the oven, the top, which will have risen
a great deal, has cracked. The cracks will heal somewhat as the cake cools
and settles. Allow to cool and refrigerate. You can grate bitter chocolate
as decoration.
