Rich Chocolate Chestnut Cake

Ingredients

• 1 cup chestnut puree
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup whole milk

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
2. In a large bowl, beat the chestnut puree, butter, and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
