Another recipe from cookbook Recipes for the New Millennium (© 2000, Morris Press), subtitled "A Collection of Recipes from Former and Present Parishioners of Holy Ghost Church, Bethlehem, PA." I was unable to find a picture with of Dios Torte topped with chocolate frosting... so you'll have to use your imagination on that part. Regardless, I'm already imagining that it tastes wonderful!
