Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chestnut purée and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour in the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until everything is well combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gently folding with a spatula until no flour streaks remain.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake is completely cool, dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
