Chestnut Fondant Bundt with Chocolate Ganache Drizzle by Jamie Schler @lifesafeast
A "fondant" is a French cake that "melts" in the mouth. It has an indescribable, dense yet light, super moist texture. This cake is made with chestnut flour which gives it an unusual, nutty
yet very particular flavor. The cake is not too sweet which makes the dark chocolate ganache the perfect complement.

This recipe is for a 9” (23 cm) Bundt pan but it can be made into individual bundlets as well.
