    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a cake pan.

    2

    Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.

    3

    Whisk together the flour and baking powder, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

    4

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.

    5

    For the chestnut mousse, combine the chestnut puree, heavy cream, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

    6

    Dissolve the gelatin in a little warm water. Gently fold the dissolved gelatin into the chestnut mousse until well combined.

    7

    Spread the chestnut mousse evenly over the cooled cake layer. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.

    8

    Garnish the top of the cake with grated dark chocolate, whipped cream, or pieces of chestnut puree.
