Chiffon Sponge Cake (regular + Chocolate) garnished with Swiss butter cream (Chocolate + Chestnut puree) and Frangelico liqueur.

Improvement: - Circle should be 10in diameter; not 9. - Layers should be 12mm, not 16mm thick - More chestnut to match the chocolate flavor. - More moister to make it easier on the diagonal.
