Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Chestnut puree
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Sugar
- 100 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 milliliters Milk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 20 cm (8-inch) round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix just until combined.
Fold in the chestnut puree until the batter is smooth and evenly incorporated.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
