FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE AND CHESTNUT CAKE
Line the removable springform pan of 20/22 cm in diameter with dampened and well-squeezed parchment paper, covering also the sides of the pan.
Preheat the oven to 340°F in static mode.
In a saucepan over low heat, add the butter and chopped chocolate, stirring continuously with a flexible spatula.
Remove from heat but while the mixture is still warm, add the chestnut cream and incorporate it evenly into the butter and chocolate mixture.
Let it cool almost completely, then add the beaten yolks a little with a fork, mixing well.
With the electric mixers, whip the egg whites to soft and firm peaks, but not too stiff.
Add this whipped egg whites in multiple additions into the mixture, using a soft spatula like a marisa.
Pour this mixture into the lined pan and bake the chocolate and chestnut cake for about 45 minutes.
Check the doneness with a toothpick, turn off the oven, and let it cool completely before unmolding the cake with chestnut cream and dark chocolate.
With melted chocolate or Nutella or glaze as you prefer, write “Christmas” if you like, add chocolate sprinkles, and we are ready to enjoy the cake with chocolate and sweet chestnut cream.
Enjoy your meal and Merry Christmas!
