Sift 300 g of chestnut flour into a bowl.

Gradually add 300-350 ml of water to the flour to form a batter that is neither too solid nor too liquid; the desired consistency is achieved with about 310 ml of water.

Add 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to the batter; reserve 1 tablespoon for later.

Incorporate the walnuts into the batter using a spatula.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit).

Pour the batter into a greased baking dish (24 cm in diameter).

Sprinkle the pine nuts on top of the batter.

Add a sprig of rosemary on top of the batter.

Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Bake in the preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 35 minutes.

Check for readiness by looking for cracks on the surface, which indicate that the cake is done.
