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

  • 1/2 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.

  22. 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.
