Chestnut Cake
These days I celebrated my birthday, and naturally organized a dinner with my family. A series of commitments piled up, so I had to change my plans…
From a Paris Brest to a chestnut cake… The difference is significant, but I couldn’t do otherwise.
The difference was made by my three-year-old nephew, who got up at six and offered to give me a hand… A wonderful gift!
There are times when I can plan my recipes without problems, other times when I have to rush to put together lunch and dinner, and I dig into previously prepared recipes to update the blog, in this hectic period, not even much time to search, so I cook and write…
And I present to you my chestnut cake recipe, accessible to everyone, and especially to those who are in a hurry to have a good, easy, and quick dessert…

Steps
After preparing the apples and chestnuts, combine them in a bowl with the rest of the ingredients except the caramel and ladyfingers; mix well and finally add the ladyfingers cut into small pieces with a knife. Line the molds with caramel and pour the mixture; bake in the oven at 375°F for 25/30 minutes. Remove while still warm and let cool before serving
Your cake is ready to be enjoyed, in the photo you can see the effect of the cake when cut, I often prepare a large tray, and then use a pastry cutter to cut portions for guests, and consume the scraps in the following days.
Beautiful and delicious; quick and easy. The weights are approximate, you can vary the quantities a bit.
I recommend storing the cake in the fridge, and if you like, glazing it with dark chocolate coating. I have no other variations, otherwise it changes the recipe, at most you can change the shape!😜😁
