Chocolate Chestnut Tea Cake is a delicious tea time cake made with chestnut cream, although nutella can be substituted.

 

As most of you know, I have an adventurous palate and always look for new ingredients to try.  Hediard in Paris is a must stop for any foodie visiting Paris. Exotic produce, huge selection of varietal teas and spice/spice blends from all over the world – it’s a foodie’s paradise.  Mango Vinegar and Chestnut Paste/Cream were two of the ingredients I picked up when I was there.  I have used the mango vinegar in marinades, sauces and salad dressings.  However, I have been stumped on how to utilize the chestnut paste and then I happened upon this delicious cake recipe and FINALLY, I would get to use my chestnut paste!
