Ingredients
- 30 g raisins
- 200 g sweet wine or water (see Note)
- 250 g chestnut flour
- 350 ml water
- 60 g extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp table salt
- 20 g honey (optional)
- 1 sprig rosemary, roughly chopped
- 30 g pine nuts
- 30 g walnuts, roughly broken
- 50 g dark chocolate, chopped, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C fan-forced. Grease a 22 cm round cake tin.
- Soak the raisins in the wine (or water) in a medium bowl for 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chestnut flour, water, olive oil, salt and honey (if using). Mix until smooth. Ensure chestnut flour is all mixed in and if not, scrape down and mix again.
- Pour cake batter into the prepared tin. Scatter with rosemary, nuts, drained raisins and chocolate.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until surface is dry and cracked.
Note
• We used vin santo. Use a springform cake tin to make the cake easier to remove.
