From last week's FFWD chestnut and pear soup, I had both chestnuts and pears leftover. Accordingly, what is a girl to do other than to make baked goods with the leftovers. I chose to make this chestnut cake with pear. I didn't have fresh pears, but tinned pears worked fine.
This really is a delicious cake. It is light and spongy, and is perfectly delicious without the chocolate icing suggested in the recipe. Here's a peek inside the cake:
If you find yourself with some chestnut puree that you don't know what to do with, you can't go past this chestnut pear cake.

An excellent use of left over ingredients! I imagine this would be beautifully moist.
I can totally see it with chocolate on top... delicious!
Resourceful and tasty way to use up leftovers!
Now, THIS looks good.
this looks delicious - I now feel bad that I threw out two pears yesterday - wish I had been as resourceful
