Buckwheat cake with pears and cacao [gluten-free]

This buckwheat cake with cacao and pearls is one of my favorite cake recipes, ideal as a special breakfast or dessert, especially for those days when we feel like something a little sweeter and sweeter in Phase 1.

Gluten-free and delicious

In addition to being very healthy and delicious, this cake is also gluten-free as it is made with buckwheat flour. So it is also ideal for celiac people.

Try a different version

Although the combination of pears and cocoa is one of the best, you can give this cake a different touch by using carob flour instead of cacao powder, or by using apples instead of pears.
