      Title: Mt's Chocolate Chestnut Cream Cake
 Categories: Cakes
      Yield: 1 Cake
 
    435 g  Sweetened chestnut purée;
           -(available in most
           -supermarkets)
    140 ml Double cream or crème
           -fraîche
     50 g  Butter; softened
      5    Egg whites
     80 g  Caster sugar
    300 g  Dark chocolate; melted
      6 tb Plain flour
 
  Pre-heat oven to 150°C.
  
  Mix the chestnut puree with the double cream/crème fraîche and
  butter. Melt until smooth. Whisk the egg whites in a bowl and
  gradually add the caster sugar (when the egg whites start becoming
  firm) to make a meringue mixture. Mix the chestnut mixture with the
  chocolate and flour and fold in the meringue mix. Spoon into a lined
  caked tin (approximately 24 cm) and bake for 50 minutes. Let the cake
  set at least 1 hour. I usually bake it well in advance so it becomes
  like velvet in texture by the time I serve it. Serve with whipped
  cream.
