Did you know? The shell of the fruit is called the bogue. It is covered with fine needles that open in October. Not to be confused with a chestnut.
Ingredients:
Mix eggs, sugar, salt (and rum). Then add the flour and baking powder. Work until the dough is smooth.
In a separate bowl, gently fold the soft butter into the chestnut cream. When the mixture is smooth, combine the two doughs.
After greasing the tin, pour in the mixture and bake in a moderate oven for around 40 minutes.
To check for doneness, stick a knife into it; the blade should come out dry.
