I would DEFINITELY make this again! I didn’t have the buckwheat flour so used Doves white rye flour. I didn’t have an orange either so used a lemon. The yoghurt I used was vanilla flavoured. It was lovely and light. Good with margarine/butter or without. Good warmed up or room temperature. Can’t wait to try again!

Really quick and easy to make. Absolutely delighted with the light, spongey texture, this is going to be a favourite! Ideal for a cycling snack to keep up energy levels too.

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
