CHINESE-STYLE CHESTNUT FILLED CAKE
I like this because all of the other chestnut cake cal for whipped cream, and this only uses it as decoration so I can leave it off if I want to. The chestnut filling is my favourite part!!!

CHESTNUT CREAM FILLING
My French grandmother always made a chestnut yule log or "buche de Noel au marron" every Christmas. Here is a recipe for the delicious chestnut cream filling. I had trouble finding a recipe for this filling, but I tweaked one until I got it as close as I could. Nothing will ever be as good as Mamie's, but this comes quite close! You can frost the cake of your choice with this cream.
