Candied Chestnut Pound Cake
Although chestnuts simmered in their inner skins are already delicious just as is, I wanted to use it for a sweet, so I used it for a pound cake. It turned out to be a surprisingly moist and delicious pound cake so I made it a recipe.
When you add the eggs, it becomes separated easily, each time you add it, mix well. Using hand mixer would be convenient.
After baking for about 15 to 20 minutes, use a skewer or a knife to make a cut in the middle of the dough then it will have a nice cut. Recipe by YUZUMAMAN

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Coat the cake pan with butter or oil (not listed in the ingredients) and sprinkle some cake flour on. Bring the eggs and butter to room temperature. Mix all ● ingredients together and sift it. Preheat oven to 170℃.
- 2
Cut half of the chestnuts simmered in their inner skins into small pieces. Cut the rest of the chestnuts into half to be big pieces.
- 3
Put butter in a bowl and add soft light brown sugar in 2 portions. Mix until it becomes white and fluffy.
- 4
Add beaten egg in 3 to 4 potions and mix well each time you add it. It easily becomes separated so be careful ! I recommend using a hand mixer.
- 5
Add the 1/3 of the sifted flour and mix. Then add the syrup from chestnuts simmered in inner skins, rum liquor and continue mixing.
- 6
Add half of the remaining flour and mix with a rubber spatula roughly. Then add the rest of the flour too and mix roughly like you are cutting it.
- 7
When the flouriness decreases, then stop mixing. Add the chestnuts cut into small sizes and mix roughly lightly.
- 8
Pour 1/3 of the dough in the cake pan and line half of the bigger size cut chestnuts. Further pour half of the dough in the cake pan and line the rest of the chestnuts on. Then pour the rest of the dough in.
- 9
Even out the surface of the dough and make the middle part sink a little. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes in an oven preheated to 170°F.
- 10
It would be done when you poke a skewer to the cake and there is nothing on the skewer. Drop the pound cake pan (with the cake still in it ) from about 30 cm height to release the steam. Leave it until it is cool.
- 11
Take the cake out of the cake pan and wrap it tightly with a cellophane wrap. Let it sit for one night. This increases the moist texture. If you let it sit for 2 nights, it will be more moist.
- 12
There are lots of small sized cut chestnuts and big sized cut chestnuts in the cake It is irresistibly delicious.

18 cm Pound Cake (with Candied Chestnuts) 18 cm Pound Cake (with Candied Chestnuts)
I made a cake for adults using candied chestnuts and brandy. If you don't like alcohol or have small children, the cake can be made without it.※ I made a cut in the top of the cake halfway through baking, but you don't have to do this.※ If you don't have brandy, or you just don't like it, the cake is fine without it!※ I found candied chestnuts I used in this recipe at a 100 yen shop! Just FYI!※ If you wrap the cake in plastic wrap and leave it to rest for half to a whole day before eating it, it will be even more delicious! For loaf pan: 18 x 8 x 6 cm [7 x 3 1/4 x 2 1/4 in].

Matcha Pound Cake with Sweet Chestnuts Matcha Pound Cake with Sweet Chestnuts
I made this matcha pound cake for a friend. It's an original recipe. It gets a great deal of use especially in summer, since I tend to go for sweets that won't fall apart at room temperature. It's perfect to have at a potluck when others are serving chilled items.After adding the dry ingredients, use a spatula (not a mixer) to mix; if you mix it too much, it won't rise very well. Trehalose is a refreshing sweetener. If you're using sugar instead, use a total of 90g. Recipe by Meronpan mama -
