Carrot and buckwheat cake

Healthy and fragrant cupcake with buckwheat flour. Having prepared such a cupcake once, I bake it quite often now. This pastry, in addition to taste advantages, has useful properties. A cupcake is being prepared without butter. Carrots, which are part of the composition, enrich baking with fiber necessary for the body. The taste of carrots in a cupcake is completely imperceptible. Buckwheat flour contains vitamins, iron and other useful substances. The cupcake turns out fragrant and crumbly. And very tasty! It is baking with useful properties that should be on the table as often as possible.

Raisins must be kept in orange juice for several hours, so it will soak well and swell. You can soak it with juice in the morning, and bake a cupcake in the evening. In the cupcake, the raisins remain very juicy and delicious.
Buckwheat flour can be used store-bought, or you can make it yourself. To do this, we take the buckwheat from the garbage, if there is one, and grind it well in a coffee grinder. Then we sift well. In addition, buckwheat flour made at home will be more useful than store-bought. In production, it is customary to get rid of the husk, and it is in it that most of the nutrients and useful substances are contained.
