Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups chestnut puree
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of chestnut puree and 1 cup of sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it is well blended and smooth.
- Add 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter to the chestnut mixture. Continue to mix until the butter is fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy.
- Crack 3 large eggs into the bowl, and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat the mixture on medium speed until the eggs are fully combined and the batter is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the cake towards the end of the baking time to prevent overbaking.
- Once baked, remove the Bundt pan from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is completely cool, you may dust it with powdered sugar or drizzle with a chocolate glaze if desired. Slice and serve to enjoy your delicious Chestnut Cream Bundt Cake with Chocolate Chips!
Tips
- Perfectly Prepped Pan: Make sure to grease and flour your Bundt pan thoroughly to prevent the cake from sticking. You can also use a baking spray with flour for an even easier release.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best results, ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a smoother batter and a more tender cake.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry ingredients with the wet, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense cake, so be gentle!
- Chocolate Chip Choice: Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. You can even mix dark and milk chocolate chips for a more complex taste.
- Cooling Time: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack. This helps it set and reduces the risk of breaking.
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra touch, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar or drizzle it with a homemade chocolate glaze. Fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream also pairs beautifully with this cake!
- Storage: Keep any leftover cake covered at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate it for longer freshness. Just make sure to bring it back to room temperature before serving for the best texture.Enjoy baking and savoring this delightful Chestnut Cream Bundt Cake with Chocolate Chips!
