Materials
- 2 lb chestnuts
- Milk to cover
- Butter for baking pan
- 1/2 c butter softened
- Flour for baking pan
- 6 eggs separated
- 1 whole egg
- 1 c sugar
- 2 T sugar
- 1 T fine bread crumbs Dried
- 2 T rum
- Chocolate Frosting
- 1 c whipping cream for topping
Instructions
- Place chestnuts in a large saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil and boil 10 minutes. Remove from heat but do not drain.
- Remove chestnuts, a few at a time, and peel off hard outer shell and soft inner membrane. When all chestnuts are peeled, drain water and return chestnuts to saucepan.
- Add milk just to cover and simmer, uncovered, until chestnuts are very tender and milk is absorbed 15 to 30 minutes. Press chestnuts through a sieve and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour an 8 or 9-inch-round pan. In a large bowl beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1/3 cup of the sugar, beating constantly until stiff peaks form.
- In another large bowl cream together egg yolks and 2/3 cup of the sugar until fluffy and lemon colored.
- Gently fold in egg- white mixture alternately with bread crumbs and half of the reserved chestnuts.
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake until a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean (30 to 35 minutes). Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Turn cake out of pan and split cooled cake in half crosswise to form 2 layers. Crack the whole egg into a mixing bowl and add the 1/2 cup butter, the 2 tablespoons sugar, and rum.
- Cream until thick and smooth. Beat in the remaining chestnuts until well blended. Prepare Chocolate Frosting as directed and keep warm. Spread chestnut mixture over 1 layer of cake and top with second layer.
- Pour warm frosting over top. Whip cream until stiff peaks form, then pack into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe whipped cream decoratively on sides of torte.
