Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Peel the chestnuts (you can buy peeled ones directly) and boil them in water for five minutes. Take them out and put them directly into cold water. You can easily peel off the chestnut coating

   

2. 2 Put the removed chestnuts into an appropriate amount of water and boil them until they can be crushed with a spoon. Put them into a food processor and add milk and 30 grams of fine sugar in batches and beat until fine (you can also sift through a mesh sieve to mix the milk. This is tiring, so I chose the quickest method). After beating, stir in 15ml of rum

   

3. 3 Add 80 grams of whipping cream to 8 grams of xylitol and whip

   

4. 4 Put the chestnut puree into the light cream and mix well, put it into a piping bag and set aside

   

5. 5 Now start making the cake embryo and separate the egg white and egg yolk

   

6. 6 Add 32 grams of corn oil and 35 grams of milk to the egg yolk

   

7. 7 Mix well

   

8. 8 Mix the cocoa powder and cake flour and sift into the egg yolk liquid

   

9. 9 Mix well

   

10. 10 Add 50 grams of fine sugar to the egg whites in three batches and beat until wet peaks

    

11. 11 Add 1/3 of the egg whites into the cocoa paste and mix well

    

12. 12 Pour back the original egg whites, mix well, and pour into a gold plate. I used a Sanneng gold plate, so I didn't grease it with oil. For other brands, please use oil paper or oil. Shake out big bubbles and place in the preheated oven at 150 degrees for 20 minutes

    

13. 13 Let cool after taking out the oven, pour out the cake embryo, and cut it into 4 equal parts

    

14. 14 Take a piece of strip and mount it with chestnut cream

    

15. 15 Cover with another layer of cake embryo

    

16. 16 By analogy, frame everything and sprinkle some cocoa powder for decoration~
