Buckwheat flour cake is an exquisite blend of tradition and health benefits. Buckwheat flour, known for its nutritious properties, gives the baked goods a light nutty flavor and airy texture. Kefir makes the dough tender, while dates and prunes add natural sweetness and a slight fruity tang. This cake is an ideal choice for breakfast or afternoon tea. European pastry chefs appreciate it for its rich taste and versatility: it pairs wonderfully with nuts, honey, and even light creams. Each serving carries the warmth of homemade baking and care for health since buckwheat flour is rich in beneficial minerals and protein. It's easy to prepare, and the result is a fragrant and tender dessert that delights both gourmets and healthy eating advocates.
