Easter is a time of joy. It’s a time for
hunting hidden Easter baskets, planning
spring club meetings, and feting brides at
showers and parties. Whether you’re enter
taining before or after Easter Sunday, you’re
sure to find occasion for some festive des
serts during April.
This Chocolate Cream Butter Torte is
truly a spectacular dessert. It’s basically a
2-egg cake you can bake in about half an
hour. Slice ‘the baked layers in half cross
wise, till between the layers and frost the
top with creamy chocolate frosting. Crown
the cake with slivered almonds or Brazil nuts
for a party look.
