Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this recipe use brown rice flour and buckwheat flour instead of plain flour?
The recipe uses 250 g brown rice flour and 80 g buckwheat flour as its base, which means the cakes are naturally gluten-free. Both flours have a slightly nutty flavour that complements the honey and raspberries without the need for any special binding agents.
Can the olive oil be substituted, and does the type matter?
Yes — the ingredient list specifically calls for mild extra virgin olive oil (80 ml) and gives cold-pressed sunflower oil (100 ml) as an explicit alternative. A mild olive oil is recommended so its flavour doesn’t overpower the honey and raspberry.
