Torta di grano saraceno, mandorle e confettura

INGREDIENTS

  • 180 g buckwheat flour
  • 180g almond flour (or toast fresh almonds before blending)
  • 180 g of brown sugar
  • 120 ml of rice or corn oil
  • 75 ml whole milk
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 sachet of baking powder
  • a pinch of salt
  • strawberry jam
  • powdered sugar
  • fresh strawberries for decoration

PROCEDURE

  • Beat the eggs with the brown sugar until the mixture is light and frothy (use an electric whisk or a stand mixer).
  • Gradually pour in the oil and milk.
  • Add the buckwheat flour, the yeast, the almond flour and the pinch of salt while continuing to whisk.
  • Pour the mixture into a pan lined with baking paper and bake at 180° for about 40/45 minutes (do the toothpick test).
  • Remove from the oven and let cool. Divide the cake into two parts and spread the strawberry jam on the cut surface.
  • Reassemble the cake and sprinkle it with powdered sugar. You can use a stencil to create a decoration (I used a perforated placemat/mat). If you want, you can add some fresh strawberries and little flowers (mine are blackberry brambles).
