sweetened chestnut puree

A simple and delicious chestnut cake using sweetened chestnut purée, with the addition of chocolate chips for extra indulgence.

Chestnut  Cake with Chocolate Chips

eggs, separated

500 g (18 oz) sweetened chestnut purée

80 g (1/3 cup) unsalted butter, softened

55 g (1/2 cup) plain flour (all-purpose flour), sifted

baking powder

salt

g (1/3 cup) dark chocolate chips (bittersweet chocolate)

icing sugar (powdered sugar),

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) (without fan).

Whisk the eggwhites until stiff peaks form.

In a separate bowl, beat together the egg yolks, sweetened chestnut purée, and butter.

Gently mix through the flour, baking powder and salt.

Gently fold through the eggwhites, a few large spoonfuls at a time, through the cake batter. Take care not to lose too much air.

Once all of the eggwhites have been added to the cake batter, gently fold through the chocolate chips.

Grease a small bundt pan with butter or a non-stick baking spray, and dust with flour. Tip the bundt pan over the sink and shake out any excess flour. (Note: I used a bundt pan with 750 ml / 3 cup capacity).

Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Leave the the cake to cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes before gently removing the cake from the pan.

Leave the cake to cool completely on a wire rack.

Dust with icing sugar (powdered sugar) before serving.

Such an easy and delicious cake! I’ve tried it with and without the chocolate chips – both are great but the chocolate does add something special ?

Wow, this is stunning! I want to try it out! These look amazing!

This is the best chestnut cake recipe ever! Although I was kinda suspicious about the amount of flour in it, I gave it a try yesterday and baked it... the result has been truly pure heaven :) I added some flavor tweaks to it such as dried cranberries and almond but otherwise followed the recipe to the letter. Thank you :)

I had a tin of Chestnut Cream and came across this recipe whilst looking for a way to use it in or on a cake. So simple to make and it was SO delicious and moist. I made it gluten free also by changing out the flour. Worked perfectly. I cooked it in a heart shaped tin for my daughter and just cooked it a bit longer checking regularly. Dusted it with icing sugar over lace for a pretty effect and served with cream, Was a hit with my parents and family. Thank you!
