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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Fold in the chestnut puree until the batter is smooth and evenly incorporated.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Once the cake has cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
