Chestnut cake

Cream the sugar and the margarine until fluffy, for the cake.

Add the eggs one by one.

Sift the flour with the baking powder and the vanilla.

Add the flour alternating with the milk into the egg mixture.

Coat the chestnuts in flour, lightly, and add them to the mixture mixing softly.

Place in a cake mold and bake at 180°C for about 40 minutes. 

To make the glaze, melt the chocolate in a bain-marie. 

Add the icing sugar, the milk, the brandy and mix.

Add the butter little by little while mixing constantly until you have a smooth, glistering mixture.

Remove from heat and pour it over the cake.
