CHOCOLATE CHESTNUT CAKE
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.

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.

Steps:
- FOR THE CAKE: Beat together first 6 ingredients. Beat in the melted chocolate. Combine and add the remaining ingredients and beat until blended. Do not overmix.
- Spread batter into a buttered and floured 9-inch kugelhopf pan and bake in a 350°F oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a cake tester, inserted in center, comes out clean. Allow to cool in pan for 15 minutes, and then invert and continue cooling on a rack.
- When cool, drizzle top decorative.
- FOR CHESTNUT CREAM GLAZE: Stir together sugar, cream and vanilla until blended. Stir in hazelnuts and chestnut puree until blended.
- NOTE: -- This can be baked in a 9-inch tube pan, but the kugelhopf pan is far more attractive for this cake.
- Hazelnuts can be toasted in a 350°F oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until skins have loosened. Place between kitchen towels and rub to remove skins.
- Easiest & Best! Coffee Cakes and Quick Breads.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 9-by-2-inch round professional baking pans, and line bottoms with parchment. Butter parchment, and set aside. Using a chestnut knife or a small paring knife, make an incision about 1/8 inch deep through the shell and into the flesh of each chestnut almost all the way around the circumference of the nut. Transfer to a chestnut pan or rimmed baking pan. Roast in the oven until the chestnuts are tender, about 35 minutes. Turn the oven off. Leaving the pan with the chestnuts in the oven, remove several at a time. Working quickly, place 1 chestnut in a towel, and, holding both, peel the chestnut while still hot. Remove and discard the shells and inner skin; set aside. Heat the oven temperature to 325 degrees. Let chestnuts cool completely. Transfer chestnuts to the bowl of a food processor. Add 2 tablespoons sugar, and pulse until very finely ground; set aside.
- Place egg whites and cream of tartar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat until foamy on medium-low speed, 5 to 6 minutes. With mixer running, slowly add 1/2 cup sugar. Raise speed to medium-high; beat until stiff peaks form, 6 to 7 minutes. Transfer egg-white mixture to a bowl.
- Into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, sift together the cake flour, chestnut flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and remaining 6 tablespoons sugar. Add the egg yolks and the water, oil, and vanilla, and beat on medium speed until smooth and well combined, about 1 minute.
- Using a rubber spatula, carefully and gently fold the flour mixture in 4 or 5 additions into the egg-white mixture until well combined. Gently fold in the reserved chestnuts and chocolate. Evenly divide the batter between the two prepared cake pans, and bake on one shelf, rotating the pans halfway through baking, until golden and a cake tester inserted into the center of the cakes come out clean, about 65 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack until completely cool. Invert pans to remove cakes. Remove the parchment paper.
- Place one layer on a cake round or directly onto a cake stand or serving platter. Using an offset spatula, evenly spread the pastry cream on top to within 1/2 inch of the edges. Place the other layer on top.
- Pour ganache on top; carefully spread to about 1/4 inch from edges. Ganache will overflow slightly and gently brim edges. Arrange marrons glaces on top of cake, spaced evenly. Set cake aside in a cool place to allow the ganache to firm.

Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Oil pan and dust with chestnut flour, knocking out excess.
- Toast hazelnuts in a shallow baking pan until fragrant and interior of nuts are pale golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Rub nuts in a kitchen towel to remove any loose skins (some skins may not come off). Cool nuts to room temperature and chop medium-fine.
- Sift together chestnut flour, baking powder, and salt in bowl, then stir in nuts.

- Beat egg whites and a pinch of salt in another medium bowl with cleaned beaters at medium-high speed until they form soft peaks. Add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar a little at a time, beating, and beat until whites just hold stiff peaks. Fold one third of whites into batter to lighten it, then fold in remaining whites gently but thoroughly. Spread batter in pan and rap pan on work surface once to release any large air bubbles. Bake 30 minutes, then loosely cover with foil and bake until a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 10 to 15 minutes more. (Cake is naturally dark.)
