and sugar and mix until blended. Add eggs and vanilla and mix until
smooth. Blend in chocolate and sour cream. Pour into a greased 9-inch
springform pan. Bake in the middle of a preheated 300F oven for 35
minutes or until the outer edge is set and the inner centre is still

serve, remove pan sides.
Prepare whipped cream topping; in a small bowl, whip cream until
