Soft Buckwheat Cake.

Traditional and Thermomix Recipe

It is a delicious, easy, and economical cake.

Ideal for breakfast and snacks, you can also fill it with my collection of sugar-free compotes or with custard or chantilly cream as you prefer.

You have the option to enrich the mix with various grains: almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, etc.

You can also mix buckwheat flour with other flours like wholemeal, almond, or walnut flour in a 30% ratio, no more, otherwise the cake will not be as soft.

I will also show you dietary guidelines to replace sugar and fats.
