  • 1 pinch Salt, table

  • 2 piece Egg, fresh

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a 20-centimeter springform cake pan and line the bottom with baking paper.

  2. In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: buckwheat flour, ground walnuts, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt.

  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs, add honey, and whisk with an electric mixer on high speed for 5 minutes or until the volume of the mixture doubles. Then add olive oil and mix.

  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. You can turn off the oven 10 minutes before the end of baking.

  5. Once the cake has cooled slightly, carefully remove it from the pan and invert it onto a rack so the bottom is facing up. Remove the baking paper and let the cake cool completely.

  6. Whip the cream with a tablespoon of powdered sugar and vanilla sugar using an electric mixer. Cut the cake horizontally in half. Spread the bottom half first with jam, then with the whipped cream, and finally cover it with the top half of the cake.

  7. Decorate the cake with walnut halves and sprinkle with the remaining powdered sugar. Serve the prepared dessert.

Advice

If you grind the walnuts yourself, make sure part of them is coarsely ground, as this will give the cake a great texture, and the walnuts will also be nicely felt with each bite.
