Chestnut chocolate cake
(64404 views)
It all started when someone suddenly bought me a big box of chestnuts. There are so many chestnut kernels. If they are all eaten as snacks directly, it's hard to avoid being tired of them. Stew is a good choice for soup. But when it comes to the best, it's better to make them in the cake. Turn chestnut kernel into sweet and delicate chestnut filling. Match with my favorite chocolate cake. A simple and generous decorative cake is born. Just in time for my friend's birthday. I thought. Such a cake. Is that enough fun?

Cooking Steps
Step1:First, make chocolate cake. Cut butter and dark chocolate into small pieces. Pour into bowl with sugar and milk.
Step2:Heat in water and stir until the butter and dark chocolate are completely dissolved. The sugar dissolves and becomes liquid. If the temperature of the mixture is high, cool it for a while before continuing the following steps.
Step3:Break up the eggs and pour them into the chocolate mixture. Stir well.
Step4:Sift the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder.
Step5:Add the powder to the chocolate mixture. Mix well to make the cake batter.
Step6:Divide the batter into three parts and pour it into three 6-inch * 6-inch square moulds with a thin layer of butter on the inner wall. Smooth the surface. If there is only one mold, it will be baked three times. Each baking will produce a thin cake. Put the mold in the middle layer of the oven, which is preheated and heated up and down to 180 ℃. Bake for 910 minutes until the cake is completely set. Touch the surface of the cake gently with your fingers. The skin will not stick to your fingers. Then you can come out of the oven. Cool three pieces of cake and set aside.
Step7:Make Chestnut Cream stuffing. First of all, prepare chestnut kernel. In general, it's easy for supermarkets to buy small packages of cooked chestnut kernel without shell (or sweet chestnut kernel).
Step8:Use your hands to press and wipe the chestnut on the screen to make it pass through the screen and become chestnut paste.
Step9:Or with the help of the back of a spoon and other tools, sift the chestnuts.
Step10:The picture shows the delicate chestnut paste obtained by Sieving (sieving chestnut paste is a very time-consuming job).
Step11:Mix the softened butter, sugar powder and chestnuts in a large bowl with an egg beater.
Step12:Add animal cream slowly. Add in and beat with an egg beater.
Step13:Observe the state of chestnuts. At the beginning, the chestnuts are very dry. After the cream is added, it will become thick, smooth and delicate.
Step14:Add rum and stir well. Add two teaspoons cocoa powder and stir well. The chestnut cream filling is ready (add cocoa powder to make the chestnut cream filling darker. If you like light chestnut cream filling, you can omit cocoa powder).
Step15:Mix rum and corn syrup to make rum syrup. If there is no corn syrup, honey can be used instead. Take a slice of cake and brush it with rum syrup.

Cooking tips:1. The chocolate cake used in this cake is a very rich and delicate chocolate cake. To get a soft and delicate taste, fire is the key. This kind of cake doesn't directly pour into the cake mould to bake a large cake and then slice it. Instead, it uses the method of baking three cakes in three times to get better effect. Pay attention to the baking temperature. When the cake solidifies, gently touch the surface, even if it is very soft. But as long as the surface is not sticky, it can be baked. It takes too long to bake. The cake will harden. 2. According to the variety of chestnut and the degree of wastage in making chestnut paste, the animal light cream in chestnut cream filling formula should be increased or decreased according to the actual situation. Slowly pour the animal light cream into the chestnut paste and beat. When it's thick and smooth, it's OK. 3. If there is no big chocolate brick, it is not easy to cut out large chocolate rolls. But chocolate chips can be used instead. 4. This recipe can also make a 7-inch circle
