This cake was a gift from Bruno, Susgrainable’s Head Baker, to celebrate our first year in business. We thought it perfectly fitting to share this recipe in celebration of Susgrainable pivoting online. Our high fibre Upcycled Barley Flour made for a perfect balance of density and moistness. This cake is sure to delight all your guests like it did ours. Enjoy!
