Cardamon Buckwheat Cake!

Our new obsession is buckwheat flour.  It's amazing and not wheat at all! Buckwheat is a fruit seed.  In fact, it is related to the rhubarb family and it is naturally gluten-free!  Buckwheat is high in magnesium, fiber and honestly, it is kind of a super food and we love it! (see notes at bottom for more info)

My Notes - 

As always, ingredients matter!
Choose spices that have not been irradiated and are free from pesticides
Fresh organic blackberries sit on top of the cake whilst frozen blackberries sink in (as seen above)
Both taste awesome though.
We choose pasture raised organic eggs
Almond milk should have no carageenan or other nasty additives

Food Matters! 
Now more than ever before.  Get back to real food, real baking and move away from packaged "foods", for the sake of your children's healthy future.

We paired ours with homemade burnt mallow ice cream! 
Recipe to come!
