The flavors of autumn must be put (also) in the oven! So today we will prepare a cake with chestnuts, fruits that dominate the woods, and with apples, instead the protagonists of the countryside in this passing season. The beauty of this cake is that we can also prepare it without a scale: a small jar will suffice as a reference measure. Let's prepare this cake together, which I have baptized "cake of 6 and a half jars"!
