Recently found a recipe for a cake made of chestnuts and chocolate. It turns out chestnuts are very tasty and nutritious. You can use them to cook dessert dishes, stuff poultry, and just fry. I didn't even know. That you can bake a cake from them. I tried it recently. It turned out not only very tasty, but also nutritious. The chestnuts themselves are already high-calorie. Then there's more chocolate. But you can treat yourself at least occasionally. Feel like Europeans. They are very fond of chestnut dishes.
So, first you need to knead the dough. To do this, mash the melted butter. Add sugar and eggs to it. Rub thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is formed. At the end, gently and gradually add the flour. Wrap the dough in foil and refrigerate for half an hour. During this time, you can wash and peel the chestnuts. Dry them and cut them with a cross. Place on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for about half an hour. Cool the chestnuts and peel them. Do not turn off the oven. Roll out the dough and put it in a greased form. Wrap the edges up a little. Pierce in several places with a fork. Bake the cake for 30 minutes at a temperature of 190 degrees. During this time, you can prepare the filling. Take a carnation. Put it in a coffee grinder and grind it into powder. Take the butter, put it in a saucepan and put it on the fire in a water bath. Add chocolate bars and ground cloves. Melt them. Be sure to interfere. Cut the cooled chestnuts into small pieces. Put them in the chocolate. Stir and cool. Add sugar and eggs. Stir again. Remove the cake from the oven. Pour the prepared filling on it. Put the cake in the oven and bake it for 5 minutes. After that, cool the cake for 2 hours. Then serve it on the table. Do not put the cake in the refrigerator. It will harden there. Bon appetit!
