Chestnut has such a special taste. It is so very much loved in our house that once my husband and I had a fight over the candied chestnuts he brought from Bursa. This is why I could not resist when I saw the amazing chestnut cake on dear Kitchen Art-ist blog. I simply wished to create a cleaner version of it. Feel free to use dates instead of persimmon if you want to make a fudge cake. I love both versions.

A small warning: be careful about the rather high amount of carbs in chestnuts.
