Ingredients

  • 180 g flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 100 g unsalted butter
  • 50 g caster sugar
  • 60 g dark pastry chocolate
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 250 g chestnut cream
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C.
    In a bowl, whisk the eggs with the powdered sugar. When the mixture becomes frothy, gradually add the flour and the baking powder.
    Melt the butter and gently add it to the previous mixture with a pinch of salt.
    Be sure to mix well as you slowly pour in the melted butter so you don't cook the eggs in the mixture.
  • Divide the dough into 2 equal parts in 2 bowls.
    In the 1st, add the chestnut cream and mix. Book.
    In a saucepan, then gently melt the chocolate with the milk, then pour into the preparation of the 2nd bowl and mix so that the whole is smooth and shiny.
  • Butter and flour a cake tin or line it.
    Pour in the 2 batters, alternating colors, a large spoonful of each at a time.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, and check the cooking with the blade of a knife: it should come out clean. If this is not the case, extend the cooking for 10 minutes.
    Leave to cool and unmold before enjoying!
