In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle, cream the butter and both sugars and chestnut pure until smooth and slightly aerated. With the motor on medium-high, add the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each one before adding the next.
Then, with the motor running, add the oil in a thin, steady stream.
Mix all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl. Turn the mixer to low speed, add the flour mixture and grated celeriac and cranberries, and mix until just combined.
Heat the oven to 350C. Spray a bundt tin. Pour in the batter, level out
the top, then bake for 30-4 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Leave to cool completely.
Instructions - Topping
140g brown butter
60g butter cubes
100g sugar
50g egg whites
3tbsp brandy
Whisk egg whites and sugar over a bain Marie until sugar is dessolved and temp is 65 degrees.
Whisk egg whites and sugar and stand mix high speed until the bowl is no longer hot to touch.
Keep whisking adding butter gradually and add brandy gradually at the end.
Add a few dried cranberries as decoration on top.
