Gluten-Free Chestnut Flour Cake Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of chestnut flour
• 1 tsp of baking powder
• 1/2 tsp of salt
• 1 cup of sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup of olive oil
• 1/4 cup of water
• 1 tsp of vanilla extract

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Grease and line an 8-inch (20cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, sift together 2 cups of chestnut flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 1/2 tsp of salt.
4. In a separate large mixing bowl, beat 4 eggs and 1 cup of sugar together for a few minutes until light and fluffy.
5. Add 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1/4 cup of water, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the egg-sugar mixture and continue to beat for another minute.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring well until fully incorporated.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once cooled, slice and serve the chestnut flour cake with whipped cream, sliced fruit, or a dusting of confectioner’s sugar.

Verdict:

This gluten-free chestnut flour cake has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor that is unique and delicious. It is also a great alternative to traditional wheat flour cakes for those who have gluten sensitivities. Adding a dollop of whipped cream, a side of sliced fruit, or a dusting of confectioner’s sugar can take this cake to the next level.
