Vertical Layer Chestnut Cake

[Turn on captions for subtitles] As opposed to a typical horizontal cake, this vertical layer chestnut cake is a beautiful surprise that tastes nutty and buttery! This cake consists of a light sponge, chestnut pieces, whipped cream, and chestnut puree. The chestnut puree is very creamy and is made from only chestnuts, sugar, water, and a bit of butter. For decoration, I piped a basket weave design around the cake and piped additional swirls on top of the cake. I then added whole chestnuts and rosemary for color. This is an easy, but complex recipe that is worth the effort.

Thank you for sharing! I can't wait to try this recipe out for my dad's birthday! Just a question, if I don't have brown sugar what can I substitute it as?

[@gastronomygal482]

White sugar will work just fine! The flavor will slightly change but it’ll still be good. I personally just really like the flavor of brown sugar. If you happen to have molasses at home, you can do mostly white sugar and some molasses as the replacement.
