About Chestnut flour cake

Chestnut Flour Cake is a traditional dessert originating from Italian cuisine, particularly Tuscany, where chestnuts have been a dietary staple for centuries. Made with chestnut flour, olive oil, water, and a hint of sugar, it exemplifies simplicity in its ingredients. Often garnished with rosemary, pine nuts, or raisins, this gluten-free cake features a rich, earthy flavor and a dense texture. Chestnut flour is naturally rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals like potassium and magnesium, making it a nutritious alternative to wheat-based flours. Olive oil adds heart-healthy fats, while the minimal use of sugar keeps the cake lower in added sweetness than typical desserts. However, its calorie density can be significant due to the chestnut flour and olive oil, so portion control is advised. This classic cake is a unique and wholesome treat, balancing tradition and nutrition.
