Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Add sugar and milk and mix well. Add cooking oil and mix well

   

2. 2 Add sifted powder and mix well

   

3. 3 Add egg yolks and mix well. Make a good egg yolk paste and set aside

   

4. 4 Beat the egg whites until foamy. Add cream of tartar and salt and stir for 1 minute until they form large peaks

   

5. 5 Add sugar and continue to beat

   

6. 6 Beat until it becomes glossy and creamy. When you lift the whisk, the tip of the egg whites stands straight and does not droop, which means it is hard foam

   

7. 7 Add one-third of the egg whites to the egg yolk paste and mix well, then add the remaining egg whites and mix thoroughly

   

8. 8 Pour into a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper, scrape it flat with a scraper, and place in a preheated oven at 170 degrees for 15 minutes

   

9. 9 Add water to raw chestnuts and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes

   

10. 10 After cooling, take it out and cut it in half. Use a small spoon to scoop out the chestnut meat

    

11. 11 Add sugar to chestnut meat and mash into puree

    

12. 12 Add milk and whipping cream and mix well

    

13. 13 Place the baked cake face up on the oil paper and spread the chestnut puree over two-thirds of the surface of the cake

    

14. 14 Use a rolling pin to roll up the cake with oiled paper and let it sit for a few minutes to firm up the base

    

15. 15 After the cake roll is ready, we start to make the chocolate fuqi on the surface: cut the chocolate into small pieces, add whipping cream and heat it over water

    

16. 16 Stir until the chocolate is completely melted

    

17. 17 Unroll the rolled cake roll

    

18. 18 Spread the melted chocolate onto the surface of the cake while it's hot

    

19. 19 Use a serrated knife to scrape the surface like bark

    

20. 20 Take one quarter

    

21. 21 Look at the structure inside to see if it looks like a tree trunk

    

22. 22 Place a quarter of the cake segments next to the large cake roll to form a branch shape

    

23. 23 Decorate this cake as you like. It is filled with fragrant, soft and sweet chestnuts and paired with the mellow aroma of chocolate. The feeling when you eat it is indescribable
