Homemade cake with chestnut flour
With the change of season, the slight drop of temperature and the shortening of the days, we felt well authorized to spend our free Sunday lazying about at home.
As a treat, I baked this rustic cake with chestnut flour and a generous inner layer of apricot jam. I know that in the recipe below I wrote to wait for it to cool completely before removing it from the tin... but the truth is that we ate when it was still warm, with a nice cup of coffee, while watching a movie on the couch. How nice!
Easy and quick to make, I am sure you will love it too. Let me know :)
