How to Make Chocolate Hazelnut Brandy Torte With Biscotti

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your 9-inch springform pan by greasing and flouring it.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the chopped hazelnuts and brandy.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the torte cool completely in the pan before removing the sides.
  8. While the torte is cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache: In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over simmering water, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining brandy.
  9. Once the torte is completely cool, pour the ganache over the top, letting it drizzle down the sides.
  10. Gently press the crushed biscotti into the ganache.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the ganache to set.
  12. Slice and serve. Enjoy!
