Redcurrant, Almond and Buckwheat Cake (gluten-free)

June 23, 2015 By Hana 6 Comments

Redcurrant Almond and Buckwheat Cake (gluten-free)

Last week my lovely yoga teacher Dina has invited me around to pick some redcurrant from her garden and all that lovely redcurrant has made it into this beautiful seasonal cake. Inspired by my Rhubarb and Strawberry Hazelnut Cake recipe this is a lovely wholesome and moist gluten-free cake fit for a summer party. So in case you’ll find yourself with some redcurrant this summer not knowing what to do with it, this might just be the recipe to try:)

I have used a mix of buckwheat flour, ground almonds and desiccated coconut to create a gluten-free mix and maple syrup to naturally add just enough sweetness. The redcurrant gives this cake a lovely edge and a very interesting flavour. You can make this cake look extra special by arranging some more redcurrant on top and around the cake and dusting with some coconut flour for a lovely finish.

    I have never baked with buckwheat flour and would love to try it. Do you have a shop where you go or do you get everything at the supermarket? Kristin

      Hi Kristin,
      most of the health food shops stock buckwheat flour and you can also buy some on Amazon and Ocado in the UK.

    Big thank you for the recipe. I tried with apple sauce instead eggs and frozen cranberries. It was good!
