Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a bundt pan, 10-inch tube pan or two 9-inch loaf pans.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl.
- Beat the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs and beat well. Beat in vanilla and sour cream.
- Add the flour mixture to the sour cream mixture and mix well. The mixture will be very thick, possibly too thick for an electric mixer.
- Remove 1 cup of the mixture to another bowl. Add the chestnut puree and chocolate chips and mix well.
- Spoon half of the batter into the bundt pan and top with half the chestnut batter. Another layer of vanilla batter, then the remaining chestnut batter. Insert a butter knife through the batter layers and swirl once or twice to marble the batter.
- Bake 60 to 65 minutes for tube pans and 45 to 50 minutes for loaf pans, until the top of the cake is no longer shiny and a tester comes out clean.
- Cool slightly, remove from pan, and dust with a mixture of powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Cake freezes for up to 2 months.

Tips:
- Use fresh chestnuts: Fresh chestnuts have a sweeter and more delicate flavor than dried chestnuts. If you can't find fresh chestnuts, you can use dried chestnuts, but be sure to soak them in water for at least 2 hours before using.
- Roast the chestnuts before using: Roasting the chestnuts intensifies their flavor and makes them easier to peel. To roast chestnuts, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Score the chestnuts with a sharp knife and place them on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the shells are blackened and the chestnuts are tender.
- Use a food processor to chop the chestnuts: A food processor will make quick work of chopping the chestnuts. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the chestnuts by hand, but it will take longer.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a loaf pan: A loaf pan will give the cake a nice, even shape. If you don't have a loaf pan, you can use a 9-inch (23 cm) square baking pan.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
Conclusion:
Chestnut coffee cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and tender crumb, sweet and nutty flavor, and crunchy streusel topping, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this chestnut coffee cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
