Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute whole wheat flour for buckwheat flour.

    Super solid but I enjoy banana loaves with spices

    This is just the buckwheat banana cake with maple coffee icing. The combination is good as the cake isn't super sweet. The coffee helps balance the sugar, but I thought it also muted the maple flavor - I wanted more. I had to use instant coffee rather than espresso, which might have made a difference. My son thought the maple was prominent enough.

    LOVED this. The nuttiness of the buckwheat flour is really nice with the banana and the maple coffee icing. Even better warm.

    I used the wholemeal flour variation and, since I was out of plain flour, went for almost all wholemeal. I thought it was a very moist and delicious cake with good texture. However, the banana flavour got lost on me. A good cake but not my favourite banana cake.
