This may be a slight variation on the normal Italian chestnut cake which is made with olive oil and rosemary. Utilizing chestnut flour and adding carob to the elements, make this cake tastes like an incredibly rich chocolate cake. Understand that when mixing chestnut flour, the batter might seem very runny. The chestnut flour will in a short time take in the liquids ingredients. Chestnuts are traditionally dried out in Italy above the new kitchen on skinny slats for 8 months which make the nuts incredibly dry. They are then ground into a wonderful powdery flour.
The dried cherries in the recipe go very nicely with the earthy flavours of the chestnut, carob, walnuts and vanilla, whereas the fresh cherries within the salsa give the cake a contemporary fruity finish. The fruit part of the recipe could be modified to pineapple (dried and recent); apricots and even prunes with contemporary plums for the salsa.
