Homemade Chestnut Cake Recipe

Yields8 ServingsPrep Time15 minsCook Time30 minsTotal Time45 mins

A cake to celebrate one of the quintessential small fruits of autumn: the chestnut. I prepared this cake with chestnut cream that I make every year. Being fortunate to live alongside a chestnut grove, I am always well-served by nature, as I just need to bend down in the yard to pick them up.

Ingredients
 3 Egg
 100 Sugar
 100 Butter
 120 Flour
 ½ Packet of baking powder
 250 Homemade or store-bought chestnut cream
Directions
1

Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until pale. Then add the melted butter and chestnut cream. Mix all the ingredients well.

2

Then add the flour and the baking powder. Mix well to obtain a smooth and homogeneous dough. Pour the mixture into a silicone mold and bake. Cook for 45 minutes depending on your oven.

3

Let the cake cool before unmolding it onto a rack. Enjoy this cake served with a bit of homemade chestnut cream for me, but you can use store-bought.
