This easy, delicious red currant cake is lightly sweetened with coconut sugar and made with a mix of home milled red wheat and buckwheat flour. It is a simple and delicious way to enjoy summer fruit.

  • 150 +20 g Unsalted butter, softened
  • 100+20 g Coconut sugar
  • 300 g Red currants, stripped from their stalks
  • 2 Large eggs, room-temperature
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 150 g Red wheat berries, milled into flour
  • 100 g Buckwheat berries, milled into flour
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/3 tsp Nutmeg powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cinnamon powder
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 2 tbsp Berentzen red currant liquor
  • 120 ml Kefir
  • 2 tbsp Sunflower seeds, optional
  1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Line the bottom of a 26-cm springform pan with parchment and grease with 20 grams of butter. Sprinkle the coconut sugar over, then place in the stripped currants.
  2. Cream 150 grams of unsalted butter and 100 grams of coconut sugar until light and fluffy. Add in eggs, one at a time, beating until fully incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Whisk together the milled red wheat, buckwheat, baking powder, baking soda, spices and salt. Beat in half of the flour mixture, then red currant liquor and kefir until roughly combined. Now beat in the rest of the flour mixture until smooth. Spread batter over the currants, smoothing top with a spatula. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds if using.
  4. Bake for 35-40 mins until a skewer inserted into the centre of cake comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Dust with a little of icing sugar if desired.

Angie, that is gorgeous! Now if only I can get my hands on that quantity of red currants. I only ever (and not often) see them in tiny little containers at an exorbitant price!

Oh Angie- what a magnificent looking cake! I love the red current berries, but I have never seen them available here. I'll be on the lookout for them.

I love currants, black, red and white are all amazing. I would never have thought of making them into an upside down cake Angie. What a beautiful bake!

[Reply]

What a beautiful work of art, Angie! Sadly, we don't see fresh currants available here. I remember picking them with my mother when I was little and popping them into my mouth. I'm sure this lovely recipe could be adapted to other berries though with delicious results.

What a beautiful cake. I grow currants, but never produce quite this many - and I rarely see them in the store! But still, this inspires me.

I adore red currants - so much so that I planted 3 different kinds in my garden this year. I cannot wait for them to start producing! This cake looks absolutely delicious... Plus I love the buckwheat. Thank you, Angie!

Beautiful cake, Angie! I must admit, I can't seem to find currents very easily here. But when I do, I scoop them up, and then don't know what to do with them! They are stunning in this cake! :)
