Oh yes, that's right, chestnuts again. But how could I leave out a canvas cake? What's good enough for porridge is good enough for a canvas cake. Most of the time. I say that because I have an idea for a porridge that I don't think will translate well into a canvas cake, but I will try!
For more of my present chestnut obsession, see my nutmeg chestnut porridge and my parsnip chestnut soup!
I'm buzzing for Christmas, and this canvas cake is my first festive attempt. It's subtle in flavour and sweetness - I usually only use half a sachet of stevia because my favoured honey yogurt is usually sweet enough - but the Christmas element cannot be denied. Unless someone asks if you're eating Christmas for breakfast, in which case you say no, just chestnuts. Just chestnuts...

I used the basic canvas cake recipe with the addition of 20g Merchant Gourmet chestnut purée and 1/4 teaspoon of mixed spice, topped with half a pot of Yeo Valley fat-free Greek yogurt with honey, 1 roasted chestnut and 1/4 of an apple cut into pieces and baked.
