The chestnut flour cake with chocolate chips is a soft and fragrant dessert, perfect for breakfast or a snack when the days begin to cool down.
Without butter and with little sugar, it’s a light and naturally sweet recipe thanks to the chestnut flour, which gives a unique and enveloping aroma.
You can make it more indulgent with chocolate chips, or leave it simple for a lighter version.
Easy and quick to prepare, it brings comforting and warming flavors to the table, ideal from September onwards.

Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups chestnut flour
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup milk (also plant-based)
- 1 packet baking powder
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- to taste chocolate chips (optional)
Tools
8-inch pan
- Molds
- Stand Mixers
This is how I prepare it and it’s a success!
First, I whisk the eggs with the brown sugar.
Then, I add flour, cocoa powder, instant baking powder, vegetable oil, and milk.
I add the dark chocolate chips if I want it less light, then pour the batter in an 8-inch round pan (I use a 7-inch).
I level well with a spatula and bake at 356°F in a static oven for about 30/35 minutes, but always check according to your home oven’s features.
Once cooked (toothpick test), I let it cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Rustic, moist, soft…Enjoy and happy cooking!
