Ingredients

• 350 grams Sweetened chestnut puree
• 150 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 60 milliliters Milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer on medium speed.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the sweetened chestnut puree and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 6

Gradually fold in the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, serve the cake on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkling of powdered sugar on top.
