Baking Instructions
Prepare the Chestnuts
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Peel and chop the roasted chestnuts into small pieces.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Fold in the chopped chestnuts.
Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch round cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and Serve
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve as is or with whipped cream.
