Step by Step guide
Step 1
Melt a large piece of butter, sugar, and chocolate from a large package in a water bath.
Step 2
Grind the almonds and walnuts into fine crumbs in a blender; lightly crush the hazelnuts in a mortar or with the flat side of a knife.
Step 3
Separate the egg whites from the yolks; beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form; separately beat the yolks; while continuing to beat, add the chocolate-butter mixture and mix in the blended nuts until homogeneous, then gently fold in the beaten egg whites.
Step 4
Grease a baking dish with the remaining butter, pour in the batter, and bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 20 minutes; cool to room temperature.
Step 5
Prepare the cream: grate the orange zest finely, squeeze out the juice; combine the zest with 2 tablespoons of orange juice, add the mascarpone, cinnamon, powdered sugar, pour in the brandy, and mix until smooth.
Step 6
Cut the chocolate layer in half lengthwise, spread cream on one half, and cover with the other half; melt the remaining chocolate in a water bath, add honey, mix; pour the glaze over the cake and smooth it out with a wide knife or spatula.
Step 7
Sprinkle with hazelnuts and serve.
