Ingredients

  • 500 g cherries
  • 1 Organic Orange
  • 150 g butter
  • 75 g raw cane sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 4 eggs
  • 125 g buckwheat flour
  • 125 g cornmeal
  • 1 tsp gluten‑free baking powder
  • 75 ml milk (1.5% fat)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Wash and pit the cherries, set aside. Rinse the orange hot, dry it, and finely grate its zest.

  2. 2.

    Cream butter with sugar, orange zest, and salt until fluffy. Gradually fold in the eggs. Mix buckwheat flour, cornmeal, and baking powder; alternately stir into the batter with milk to create a smooth, spreadable dough. If needed, grease a springform pan and pour the batter in, smoothing the surface. Evenly scatter cherries over the batter.

  3. 3.

    Bake the gluten‑free cherry cake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (160 °C fan or gas level 2–3) for about 50 minutes, checking with a toothpick. Remove, let cool completely, release from the pan, and cut into pieces to serve.
