Let’s make a delicious cake that is popular in Japan, Mont Blanc cake! It’s a light and fluffy chestnut chiffon cake filled with a chestnut cream and topped with a meringue-like sweet whipped cream. The combination of the chestnut flavor with the sweet cream is simply irresistible. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

1 cup cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 eggs (separated)
2/3 cup white sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons chestnut paste
1/4 cup chestnut puree
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
3/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.

In a medium bowl, sift together the cake flour and baking powder. Set aside.

In a large bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until foamy. Add cream of tartar, and beat until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, beat egg yolks until light and fluffy. Add the oil, chestnut paste, chestnut puree and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined. Gradually add the sifted flour mixture, and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the egg whites until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool completely before assembling. When cooled, cut the cake in half horizontally, and place one of the halves on a serving plate. Spread the chestnut cream on top, and cover with the other cake half. Whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, and spread over the cake. Sprinkle with toasted almond slices, if desired.
