I don't know where my mother got this recipe, but it's worked for this novice cook several times:

Melt ¼ 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.
