Ingredients for Chocolate Buckwheat Cake
- 1 cup buckwheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or more buckwheat flour for a gluten-free version)
- 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk (or milk with a splash of vinegar)
- ½ cup hot water
Instructions for Making Your Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan. Let’s set the stage for some baking magic!
- In a large bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This is the dry party – and it’s going to be fabulous!
- In another bowl, combine the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, buttermilk, and hot water. Give it a good whisk until everything is beautifully blended. Just don’t let it fall into a whirlpool!
- Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Don’t overdo it; remember, we’re here for a balanced relationship!
- Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Let it settle in; it’s been through a lot!
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The aroma will have you questioning if you should have made two cakes. Spoiler alert: You should have.
- Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Patience is key – good things come to those who wait!
- Once cooled, you can frost it with your favorite chocolate frosting or serve it with fresh fruit. You deserve it!
