CHOCOLATE CHESTNUT CAKE RECIPE - NYT COOKING



Chocolate Chestnut Cake Recipe - NYT Cooking image

This wheat-free chocolate cake with the earthy flavor of chestnuts is surprisingly light. The recipe is a slight adaptation from one in Alice Medrich’s baking book "Flavor Flours." The cake may be baked a day or two in advance of serving.

Provided by David Tanis

Total Time 1 hours

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 ounces/115 grams chocolate (64 percent cacao or less)
4 ounces/113 grams unsalted butter
4 large eggs, separated
1/2 cup/100 grams sugar plus 2 tablespoons for topping
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup/55 grams chestnut flour
1/2 cup/85 grams chopped cooked chestnuts (use canned or vacuum-packed)
1 cup heavy cream, for topping
Chocolate curls or cocoa powder, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Melt chocolate and butter in a bowl set over boiling water until chocolate is nearly completely melted, then remove from heat and whisk mixture until smooth.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks with half the sugar (1/4 cup/50 grams) and the salt until pale and thick. Stir in the warm chocolate and set aside.
  • Put egg whites in a clean bowl with cream of tartar and beat until fluffy, then add remaining 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar and beat until whites are stiff but not dry.
  • Stir chestnut flour and chopped chestnuts into the chocolate batter, then fold in 1/4 of the whites to lighten mixture. Fold in remaining whites and scrape batter into an unbuttered 8-inch springform pan, smoothing top if necessary.
  • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out almost clean. Cool on a rack. It may sink and crack a bit on top — this is fine. Run a knife around the edge of cake to free sides and remove form. Transfer to a serving platter. (Cake may be stored, covered, at room temperature for up to 3 days.)
  • To serve, whip cream with 2 tablespoons sugar to a very soft consistency. Spoon over top of cake and quickly spread with a spatula. Sprinkle with chocolate curls or cocoa powder.
