    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a cake tin with parchment paper or grease it well to prevent sticking.

    2

    In a large bowl, combine the chestnut puree, almond flour, sugar, and gluten-free baking powder. Ensure there are no lumps.

    3

    Melt the butter and add it to the chestnut mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

    4

    Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, until you have a smooth batter. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract.

    5

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake tin and spread it evenly. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    6

    While the cake is baking, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Sweeten with a touch of vanilla, if desired.

    7

    Let the cake cool completely. Dust the top with cocoa powder and serve with the whipped cream. Garnish with grated chocolate or chestnut pieces, if desired.
