Hello lovelies, today I would like to present you: the best vegan chestnut cake. A delicious recipe for an autumn cake that turned out so good that I really want to share it with you today. I have tested the cake extensively on various friends, neighbors and above all non-vegans and everyone found it delicious and asked for the recipe. Of course, I'm really happy about something like that, especially when you tell people it's vegan cake, many still think that it can't taste that good.
But now to the chestnut cake: this one contains, as you can already imagine: chestnut puree. It gets really nice and moist, but at the same time not too compact, you can see that very well in the pictures. It is incredibly quick to prepare and we thought it was particularly good when coated with chocolate icing.
The cake tasted particularly good in combination with the chocolate, really nutty, chocolaty and with a fine note of chestnut. If you can't find chestnut puree with you, you can also make it yourself from cooked chestnuts. Here in Switzerland, the ready-made puree is available in every supermarket, especially for the popular vermicelles dessert.
You can of course vary the nuts, this time I made the cake with ground almonds. Hazelnuts would work well too, they will surely taste a little more intense. Incidentally, the cake was almost even better the next day, or the chestnut taste even more intense, so you can bake it a day in advance!
Be sure to try this fine autumn cake "Vegan Chestnut Cake", I am sure that you and your loved ones or guests will taste it just as much!
If you love this chestnut cake, there is more waiting in my autumn baking: chestnut fans should try my chestnut marble cake with its pretty swirl, for something warmly spiced there is my pear spice cake, and if you still have zucchini to use up, bake my zucchini hazelnut cake. I would love to hear how your chestnut cake turned out!
