Chestnut Cake with Chocolate Brandy glaze

In March I made a favorite cake of mine: Chestnut Cake with Chocolate Brandy Glaze.

This recipe comes from Martha Stewart's cooking website. Instead of Armagnac, I chose Brandy.

It does take a bit more time than some other cakes I've made but it's well worth it. One night with the following day was the time period.

Some images of the cake in process of being made and the final result.
