A traditional gluten free buckwheat cake from my second favorite Italian region

The first thing I do every year after I get back from apple picking is to bake this apple cake as taught me from my nonna Mirella. It’s both an harvest celebration and a way to spend time relishing memories of the time we spent together baking it.

This is a very simple, 4 ingredients cheesecake that has been a family favorite as far as I can remember. Only tricky part is to get your egg whites whipped until they look like thick snow- a little practice and a good electric whisk will do the trick!
