Easy Chestnut Pound Cake for Autumn
- 200 grams Pancake mix
- 2 Egg ( M to L )
- 80 grams Margarine ( or butter )
- 60 grams Granulated sugar
- 30 Chestnuts ( simmered in inner skins, candied chestnuts or peeled sweet chestnuts )
- I will use this pancake mix which is a good offer.
- 200 g x 4 packages are inside.
- Bring the margarine to room temperature.
- Add granulated sugar to it and mix.
- At this time of the year, I heated up the margarine in a microwave for about 30 seconds to make the margarine soft.
- Add beaten egg to it, in 3 little batches , and mix well everytime you add the egg.
- Change the whisk into a rubber spatula.
- Add the pancake mix and mix well.
- Add syrup from chestnuts simmered in inner skins or candied chestnuts if you have some and mix well.
- Spread the dough flatly on the bottom of the pound cake pan.
- This is a 100 yen shop pound cake pan.
- ( I think it is made of stainless steel ).
- Even if you get 2, it is 200 yen.
- Line the chestnuts simmered in inner skins.
- I line them tightly without space beside one another.
- For 1 pound cake pan, 15 chestnuts fit.
- Cover the chestnut with the dough and tap the cake pan lightly to eliminate air pockets.
- Bake for about 50 to 55 minutes in a 180F preheated oven.
- Take it out of the oven once after 15 minutes and make a cut in the middle.
- It will have a nice brown color when you bake it for about 30 minutes but it will burn if you bake it longer.
- So I took it out once and covered it with an aluminium foil.
- Poke a skewer in to check if it is ready.
- Two pound cake pans were ready in 55 minutes.
- Here is how it looks like when it is cut.
- I put the whole chestnuts without cutting but you can also cut them into small pieces and add it.
