Mont Blanc (chestnut cream cake)

Mont Blanc is one of my favorite cakes.  I am not talking about a tall mountain in Alps.
Unfortunately, I have never seen my favorite cake in Sweden...




Mont Blanc is a chestnut cream cake which is very popular in Japan. Where it came from is not clear but it seems it originally came from France, but the first Mont Blanc cake sold in Japan was in 1933. So it was quite long time ago.

Mont  Blanc is a soft layer of cake with a pillowy mound of chestnut cream, all topped with strands of sweet nutty chestnut puree. It’s creamy, sweet and earthy with a few different textures in each bite.
