This decadent torte is the best of both worlds: brownie and cheesecake! The torte is rich and fudgy, balanced out by sour cherries and a creamy cheesecake topping made from silken tofu that's swirled with even more brownie batter. This cake is a fantastic dessert for any occasion, date night, or when you feel like baking just because.
