Steps:

  1. Rinse the buckwheat and place it in a mixing bowl. Add oatmeal and cinnamon. Pour enough hot water over the mixture to cover it by 2 fingers. Let it rest covered for about 30 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, remove the colored peel part of the orange with a fine grater. Approximately 1.5-2 tablespoons of orange peel will be sufficient.
  3. Place baking paper on the bottom of a 22 cm diameter (recommended) springform cake tin. Lightly grease the edges with oil.
  4. When the oat-buckwheat mixture becomes soft, place it in a pot. Cook on low heat for 1-2 minutes, mashing it with the help of a spatula. Put the cooked mushy mixture into the mold and smooth the top.
  5. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees. Put the base in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes on the upside down setting. Remove the dried and lightly cooked base from the oven and cool it in its mold.
  6. Meanwhile, for the cheese filling; Add coconut (or almond) milk, vanilla and honey to the cream cheese and curd cheese and beat until a smooth consistency is achieved.
  7. While continuing to whisk, add the eggs one by one and mix them into the mixture. Finally, add the orange zest and mix gently.
  8. Place the cheese filling on the completely cooled base and smooth it with a spatula. Gently tap it on the counter once or twice to remove any air bubbles.
  9. Preheat your oven until it reaches 150 degrees. Put your cake in the oven and bake it for about an hour until the cheese filling hardens, then turn off the oven.
  10. Let the cake rest in the oven for about an hour, by squeezing a wooden spoon into the oven door to ensure the ingredients are integrated.
  11. Let the dessert you take out wait until it reaches room temperature, then put it in the refrigerator and cool it.
  12. During the presentation stage, drizzle chocolate sauce or fruit sauce or one-to-one diluted carob molasses on top, slice it and serve it cold. Enjoy your meal!
