    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.

    2

    In a large bowl, cream together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour, baking powder, and ground walnuts. Mix until just combined.

    3

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

    4

    Let the cake cool in the pan before slicing it into two layers.

    5

    For the cream, combine the chestnut puree, walnut cream, and heavy cream in a bowl. Mix until smooth and silky.

    6

    Spread the walnut cream filling between the two cake layers, then frost the top and sides of the cake.

    7

    Drizzle with chocolate sauce and garnish with ground walnuts. Tip: For an extra touch, add grated chocolate or whole walnuts.

    8

    Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Slice and serve chilled.
