A day to celebrate....

Today is a special day... 10 may 2011 is my 3rd wedding anniversary!

I baked a Chocolate Chestnut Cake for this occasion. Do you like the wedding couple? I piped them using chocolates, so its edible~ kekeke *^_^*


Chestnut cake (Recipe adapted & modified from Yochana's Cake Delight)

Ingredients for chocolate cake:
4 eggs
80g sugar
100g plain flour
20g cocoa powder
60g cornoil

chestnut filling:
120g canned chestnut puree
100g non-dairy whipping cream

Method:
1. Cake: whisk eggs & sugar till thick.

2. Fold in flour, cocoa powder & cornoil. Pour into 2 cake tins & bake @ 180C for about 20mins.

3. Remove cake from oven, leave to cool on a wire rack.

4. Filling: stir chestnut puree with whipping cream & sandwich the 2 layers of chocolate sponge cake together. Frost the cake with the remaining chestnut cream.

5. Decorate as desired.


A little gift for my hubby on this special day *^_^*

    Neyeeloh,

    Not all cold storage have chestnut puree. I search for a few places as well & finally got it at Tampines 1.
