Castagnaccio is a rustic Tuscan delight that tastes like autumn in Italy 🍂.

This traditional chestnut flour cake is naturally gluten-free, vegan, and deeply rooted in regional heritage. A dense, earthy, and subtly sweet cake—perfect for cozy evenings or a classroom tasting if you’re weaving Italian culture into your lessons. Want a variation with orange zest or honey drizzle? I’ve got those too.
