Chestnuts are very special to me because Chestnuts relate to many happy memories. My absolute favourite cake is ‘Mont Blanc Cake’ and I bought a jar of Sweet Chestnut Paste to make it. I used the leftover for these slices. I really enjoyed them with a nice hot cup of tea.

Steps

1

Preheat oven to 170℃. Line a brownie pan or a shallow square cake pan with baking paper.

For the base, combine softened Butter and Sugar until smooth, add Egg and Vanilla, and mix well. Add Flour and mix to form a soft dough. Spread in the prepared pan evenly and press down using your fingers.
3

Combine Butter and Sweetened Chestnut Paste in a bowl. Add Plain Flour and make crumble. If too wet, add extra 2-3 tablespoons Flour. *Note: Chopped Chestnuts can be mixed into the crumble.
4

Spread Sweetened Chestnut Paste over the base, and scatter the chopped Chestnuts and the crumble evenly. Gently press using your fingers. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden.

Cool completely and cut into slices.
