Chocolate cake, with chocolate chunks inside, and ganache on top, it’s simply heaven in a bite!
It is flourless, gluten free, vegan option, and without refined sugars, very easy to make, with simple ingredients. The main ingredient is soaked buckwheat, which when processed becomes a very practical dough and ideal to make a lot of baked goods without the need of flour.
It also has several bananas, which give moisture and softness to the final product, and finally, a large amount of cacao and chocolate in all possible ways to turn this cake into the best in the world!
Do you dare to try the recipe? You will not regret!

Hello this looks amazing but I don’t see the amount of coconut milk for the ganache. Could you let me know please?
I already correct it, sorry for my mistake!
Can I replace the sugar with honey?
Of course! If you try the recipe let me know please! Honey sure gives a great touch
Can you substitute the buckwheat groats for actual buckwheat flour?
Recipe looks amazing btw.
Obvious that you can! But you should add more liquid, the buckwheat groats to be soaked already are wet. You’ll have to add water little by little until you get a homogenous and sticky mixture. Let me know if you try it!
