Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a cake pan.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and ground walnuts.
3
In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
4
Stir in the chestnut purée, then gradually add the dry ingredients and milk, mixing until you have a smooth batter.
5
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
6
For the frosting, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whip until stiff peaks form.
7
Layer the cake with the whipped cream frosting, covering the top and sides evenly.
8
Decorate the top of the cake with chestnut purée, dark chocolate shavings, and ground walnuts.
9
Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
