I used this recipe as a guide. I didn't have all the ingredients. Instead of buckwheat flour, I used a mix of whole spelt (80%) and ground almonds (20), and instead of the orange, I soaked the pruned in orange liquor.. Oh, and I substituted the oil with melted butter. And I threw in a handful of pine-nuts. resulting cake was delicious. I’k definitely use this quick, easy and effective recipe again. .

This is delicious. I found it easy to make and the quantities and cooking time were spot on. I added a teaspoon of cinnamon
