    🥘 Ingredients

    Ingredients for a delicious chestnut cake.
    • Unsalted butter
    • All purpose flour
    • Chestnut flour
    • Confectioner's sugar
    • Eggs - organic, room temperature
    • Baking powder - Baking powder is the number 1 raising agent in cake baking. It ensures that the dough rises and loosens.
    • Vanilla sugar - homemade or store-bought - adds another sweet vanilla flavor
    • Powdered sugar for sprinkling
    • Optional: chocolate chips

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    🔪 Instructions

    Step 1

    Since preparing the dough does not take much time, prepare your oven beforehand. First, preheat your oven to 356 °F // 180 °C top and bottom heat.

    Take a large bowl or the mixing bowl of your food processor and add the vanilla sugar, butter, powdered sugar, and eggs. 

    Whisk until the mixture is fluffy, then add the all purpose flour, chestnut flour, and baking powder. 

    Mix all ingredients together with the food processor until well combined. If you are a true chocolate fan, you can stir in a handful of chocolate chips into the dough. The finished dough will have a creamy texture and should not turn out too dry.

    Step 2

    Before filling your Bundt cake pan with the batter, we recommend coating the pan with baking spray or butter. This way, you can easily remove the Bundt cake from the pan afterward.  

    Pour the prepared dough into the cake pan and bake at 180 °C for 45 minutes. At the end of the baking time, test the cake with a toothpick to see if the cake is ready.

    If no more dough sticks to the toothpick, you can take the Bundt cake out of the oven.

    Let the cake cool completely on a cooling rack.

    Behold the wonderful texture of this cake when sliced.

    Place the Bundt cake on a cooling rack and let it cool completely before removing it from the pan.

    Store under a cake cover and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

    If you fancy, serve this delicious dessert with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

    Gluten-free flours: Buckwheat, amaranth, millet, quinoa, almond, soy, and chickpea.

    Starch flours: Potato, rice, corn, whole wheat.

    🍽 Equipment

    • Large bowl
    • Bundt pan
    • Baking spray or butter

    🌡 Storage

    The Chestnut Bundt Cake will keep for a good week. It is best to store it under a cake cover to keep it fresh and moist. 

    If you want to keep the cake longer, we recommend freezing it. Once cooled, cut into slices and freeze in an airtight container.

    🙋🏻 FAQ

    Is chestnut flour good for you?

    Chestnut flour is a healthy alternative to conventional wheat flour and a healthy sweetener. In addition to starch, chestnut flour contains many complex carbohydrates that saturate longer and regulate blood sugar levels. In it, many beneficial fibers keep the intestines healthy. What else makes chestnut flour healthy?
    You can also find an exceptionally high content of Vitamin C (which strengthens the immune system) and the mineral potassium (essential for heart health).
    In addition, chestnut flour is an alkaline food and gluten-free.

    Where can I buy chestnut flour?

    Chestnut flour can be found in select ethnic markets, health food stores, and, as is often the case, most easily on Amazon.

      This chestnut cake looks so soft and moist. I've used chestnut flour before and I love the flavor so I can't wait to try it. Thanks for the tip about buttering or spraying the bundt pan so that it comes out easier!
