Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Chestnut flour
- 2 teaspoons Gluten-free baking powder
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, sift together the chestnut flour, almond flour, and gluten-free baking powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients until well combined.
Pour in the milk and mix until you achieve a smooth batter.
Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
