- "This is my second order for your oregano and I would like to say that it is the "BEST" I have ever used. It is better, much better, than my own home grown oregano. I want to thank you people for a superior product that I absolutely love and so do the friends I share it with...God Bless" Charles Wickstrom Plainville, Connecticut

- Torta di Castagne e Cioccolata
(Chocolate and Chestnut Cake)
-
-
-
Ingredients:
-
- 1 ounce plain white or Italian type 00 flour, plus extra for dusting
8 ounces chocolate with 70% cocoa solids
4 ounces unsalted butter
4 large range eggs, separated
11 ounces canned, sweetened chestnut puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 ounces caster sugar
Icing sugar, for dusting
-
- Directions:
- Pre-heat oven to 350° F. Grease and line a 8 inch deep round cake tin. Dust with flour.
-
- Break the chocolate into a bowl and add the butter. Place over a saucepan of simmering water and heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Take care not to overheat. Remove from the heat.
-
- Sift the flour into a bowl, add the egg yolks, chestnut puree and vanilla extract and whisk together. Stir in the chocolate mixture.
-
- Whisk together the egg whites and cream of tartar until they just hold their shape, then gradually whisk in the sugar until stiff. Do not overbeat.
-
- Add a quarter of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture, then the remaining whites.
-
- Pour into the prepared tin and bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes, until a skewer, inserted into the center, comes out moist but not sticky. Leave the cake to cool in the tin. It will have risen and then dropped slightly in the center.
-
- When cold, turn out and dust with sifted icing sugar before serving.
