Steps:
- Force chestnut purée through a potato ricer to make the purée fluffy, and set aside.
- Grate the chocolate using a food processor or the grater attachment of your mixer if you have one.
- Mix the almonds and breadcrumbs together.
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Prepare 2 9-inch springform pans for baking by brushing the bottom and sides of the pan with melted butter, dusting with flour, and shaking out the excess.
- Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff, but not dry.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the egg yolks, gradually adding the sugar until well mixed (3-4 minutes: the mixture will be light yellow and very thick and creamy).
- Fold in the chestnut purée, then the grated chocolate.
- Carefully fold in the nut and bread crumb mixture.
- Stir 1 tablespoon of the egg whites into the batter, then fold the rest in 1/4 at a time.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pans, spread evenly, and bake in the center of the oven until the tops turn light brown (30-50 minutes).
- Remove from oven and let it cool a little in the pan.
- Remove the sides of the pan and allow to cool thoroughly before filling it.
- For filling, melt chocolate in a double boiler over very low heat.
- Cream the butter with the powdered sugar; add the melted chocolate, and beat until fluffy.
- Fold in the nuts.
- Refrigerate until ready to use.
- When the layers are completely cooled, take the better of the two for the top layer.
- Spread the bottom layer with the filling, and set the top layer on top.
- In a cold bowl, with a cold beater, whip the cream.
- Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Mash the chestnut purée with a fork, then work in the powdered sugar.
- Beat in the rum, and taste for flavoring.
- When ready to serve the cake, top with whipped cream, then force the chestnut topping through a potato ricer directly on top of the whipped cream.
HUNGARIAN FLOURLESS HAZELNUT CAKE
This cake was traditionally a birthday cake in my friend's home. Her mother is from Hungary and only has this recipe in her head! Now it will be preserved.... Note: hazelnuts may be toasted or untoasted. The skins may be removed or left on.

- In a large bowl, whip the egg yolks with the sugar until pale yellow in color. Beat in the ground hazelnut mixture.
- In a separate CLEAN bowl, with a CLEAN whisk, whip the egg whites until stiff. Quickly fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the yolk mixture, then add the remaining whites and fold in until no streaks remain.
- Pour into a 9 inch springform. Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 75 minutes, or until top of cake springs back when lightly tapped. Cool on wire rack.
