Words of advice: make the chestnut meal before you begin anything else. It takes longer than you think, especially if you’re a novice with chestnuts. This way your beautiful egg white won’t turn into a puddle in the fridge while you’re peeling and chopping nuts. That said, this is marvelous. Warm. Not too sweet and just a hint of nutty crunch.

I will only cook the portugese food that you teach !😊

Can you estimate how much ground chestnut you put in the cake in terms of cups? Or weight? I’d like to try the cake. Thanks!

The recipe calls for 1 pound of chestnuts. Typically, about 1 pound of raw chestnuts yields around 2 cups of peeled chestnuts. justcookwithmichael.com/recipes/chestnut-cake-madeira-island-portugal/ 🍻

Can you use pan fried chestnuts?

[@JustCookwithMichael]

Yes. Here’s a website that shows how to pan fry chestnuts. www.tyrantfarms.com/recipe-cast-iron-pan-roasted-chestnuts-on-a-stovetop/

Your cup has 200 or 220 or 250gr of sugar?

[@JustCookwithMichael]

The one cup of sugar equals 200 g. Enjoy!
