Chestnut Bundt cake brings out the sweet taste of the chestnuts. I love how this simple dessert can be a show stopper for parties.  It is one of my more indulgent cakes.  It love too how the cake presents a marbled effect too once sliced into.

Amaranth seeds, I get from a non-profit small charitable store in Stoke Newington, London –  I like to support small outlets, where I can.  You can find the shop here

Blanched almonds, I purchase from a nifty Asian outlet in Hayes.  It has an online presence too which can be found here – I love it because it is reasonably priced and tends to be good quality stuff which I use.
