HUNGARIAN CHESTNUT CAKE
This rich dessert is full of all sorts of wickedness, and is a bit labor-intensive, but well worth the work. Chestnuts and marrons glace are available in specialty food stores and gourmet stores.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Then grease the parchment paper.
- Separate the eggs.
- In a food processor puree the chestnuts with the butter and the rum, scraping down the sides, until the mixture is smooth. Add the melted bittersweet chocolate and blend the mixture until it is combined well. With the motor running, add the yolks, 1 at a time, and transfer the mixture to a large bowl.
- In a bowl with an electric mixer beat the whites with the salt until they hold soft peaks, add the sugar, a little at a time, beating, and beat the meringue until it holds stiff peaks.
- Whisk about one fourth of the meringue into the chocolate mixture to lighten it and fold in the remaining meringue gently but thoroughly. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake the cake in the middle of a 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a tester comes out with crumbs adhering to it and the top is cracked. Let the cake cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes, remove the side of the pan, and invert the cake onto another rack. Remove the bottom of the pan, invert the torte onto a rack, and let it cool completely. (The cake will fall as it cools.)
- To Make Glaze: Put 6 ounces of the finely chopped chocolate in a small bowl, in a saucepan bring 1/2 cup of the cream to a boil, and pour it over the chocolate. Stir the mixture until the chocolate is melted and the glaze is smooth and stir in 1 tablespoon of the rum. Dip each candied chestnut halfway into the glaze to coat it partially, transfer the chestnuts to a foil-covered tray, and let them set.
- Invert the cake onto a rack set on wax paper, pour the glaze over it, smoothing the glaze with a spatula and letting the excess drip down the side, and let the cake stand for 2 hours, or until the glaze is set. Transfer the cake carefully to a serving plate and garnish it with the coated chestnuts.
- Make the whipped cream just before serving the cake: In a chilled bowl with chilled beaters beat the 1 cup heavy cream until it holds soft peaks, beat in the 2 tablespoons sugar and the1 tablespoon rum, and beat the mixture until it holds stiff peaks. Fold in the chopped candied chestnuts. Serve the cake with the whipped cream.

- Finely blend the chestnuts with 3/4 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Press the mixture through a sieve a few times to obtain a very smooth chestnut paste. Dilute 3/4 pound of this chestnut paste with 1 cup of water to form a smooth and even mixture. Beat the butter, egg yolks, and salt in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment until smooth, then add in the diluted chestnut paste. Beat the egg whites to stiff peaks with 1/3 cup of sugar. Use a spatula to incorporate the beaten egg whites into the chestnut mixture, then add the chestnut flour, the baking soda, baking powder, and finally the walnuts and rosemary. Pour the batter into a buttered and floured loaf pan and bake at 320°F for about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool, then remove from the pan and cut into portions.
- TO SERVE: Mix the rest of the chestnut paste with a bit of water and a splash of lemon juice to obtain the consistency of a spreadable cream. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons of this cream on each dish; unevenly break up 3 pieces of cake by hand, add a few coarsely chopped candied walnuts, a few chopped black cherries, a scoop of chestnut gelato, 4 drops of balsamic vinegar, and a splash of whiskey.
