How to make Chocolate Hazelnut Torte - Шоколадный торт с орехами

Hi guys, welcome to Alice Yama Food. Today I'm making a really really special cake. It's chocolate tarte with hazelnut brittle underneath and some crunch with wafers. It's really really delicious. It's so decadent and light. Even though it's quite a rich cake it just feels really light and nice. And today I'll be actually making my dinner party. I really really hope you enjoy this recipe. And it's very very easy. Just follow my steps by step directions and enjoy. The first thing we're going to do, we're going to make our almond hazelnut brittle and I've got a 12 inch pan so you can use a smaller pan if you want, the cake will just come out a bit thicker. So to save your time you can buy almonds already chopped up for you in supermarkets and it just makes your life a bit easier and we're just going to do the same thing with our hazelnuts, now we're just going to put them into our food processor and just blend until you get a nice smooth paste. The next thing we're going to do is going to make actually our brittle and all the ingredients will be listed below and this is about four tablespoons of water we place that into a pan and we add all the sugar straight away and I put a pinch of salt in there as well and all we're going to do we're just going to wait till that starts to simmer and bubble up and then we're going to add our butter in there so once you see that the sugar and water starts to bubble up we're just going to add butter So, um... pieces at a time just like that So all we're going to do now is just wait till our butter melts and we're going to wait till the mixture turns that beautiful amber colour. Okay, so as you can see the colour turns from yellow to golden straight away and we're just going to turn off the heat. We're going to add the soda, mix that in. And the next thing we're going to do, we're just going to add all the almonds. Really good mix like that. You can see straight away it's gone so nice. Put this all in there, it's very very hot so just be very careful, use the back of your spoon to spread the mixture evenly. Once it's all done we're just going to put this into the fridge for about half an hour until we make our filling. The next thing we're going to do, I bought these wafers in my local supermarket so you can get them anywhere, they're just really nice. These are chocolate hazelnut flavour and we're going to blend them again. These will add extra crunch to the cake and it will be just delicious. We take a large bowl. And we're going to put all the mixed wafers in here, we're going to add our hazelnuts that are being processed as well, or in a food processor. And then we're going to add one can of caramel, you can buy it ready in any supermarket. And we just want to give it a really good mix and mix it all throughout to make sure everything is incorporated. Just like that, you can see it's really nice and spreadable. So now we're going to add our hazelnut layer on top and again we're just going to do the same thing we're going to try and spread it around as equally as we can. Okay, so just like that, and we're going to put it back in the fridge to set for a good 15 to 20 minutes. Now, to finish it off, we're going to do a delicious devilish chocolate layer. And I'm using 70% of dark chocolate. It's a little glitch. You can smell it's very, very rich. We don't want to use milk chocolate because it's got too much milk and sugar inside, so it kind of loses that chocolatey taste. And even with dark chocolate, you can't really feel that bitterness. It's just so sweet and lovely. So we start off by whisking two eggs. Until they're nice and fluffy. So the next thing we do, we put our double cream into a small saucepan. And we're gonna wait till it boils. Once it starts to boil, we turn it off straight away. Now this is really important to do it very, very slowly. Because obviously we've got raw eggs and hot mixture. If you put it all in together, you're gonna have scrambled eggs. So we just add a little bit at a time. And mix really, really fast. With everything mixed in, we add all the chocolate. And we're just gonna leave it for 5 minutes until it melts. I'm going to mix that in. So all we're going to do now, we're just going to pour that. And this is our last step. OK, so that's nice and done. That goes in the fridge for a couple of hours until it's nice and set. OK, so my cake is out of my fridge. It's completely set. If you can see, it's not juggling anymore. And what I'm going to do with it, I'm going to divide it into 12 portions. Once you've got your cake, we're going to decorate it really, really nicely with a bit of strawberry. Open the cake really slowly. There it is. Again, my beautiful chocolate torte with nuts is done. You can see all the three layers in the cake, it just looks amazing. Anyone who loves nuts and chocolate, this is the most amazing cake ever. You can decorate it with some chocolate shavings or anything else. I like to add fresh fruit because it adds that extra freshness to the cake because it's quite rich. Guys, thank you so much for spending time in my kitchen and please subscribe and I'll see you all next week. Bye!
