3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup sour cream

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon almond extract

Fresh strawberries, optional

Remove half of batter to second bowl; stir in melted chocolate and vanilla extract to blend well. To remaining plain cream cheese mixture, stir in almond extract.
