Ingredients

• 200 grams Chestnut purée
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 3 Eggs
• 120 milliliters Almond milk
• 100 milliliters Vegetable oil
• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan with vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the chestnut purée and granulated sugar. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 3

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Pour in the almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture until everything is well combined.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, gently folding with a spatula until no flour streaks remain.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once the cake is completely cool, dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
