Buckwheat cake, hazelnut flour and blueberries: the recipe

Today, the cultivation of Valtellina blueberries has reached a good level of production, and other varieties are being tested, to the point of deserving the name of blue valley.
Blueberries are, for all intents and purposes, counted among the typical products and are used for the preparation of pies and cakes such as the simple and incredibly good one, with buckwheat flour and local blueberry jam or, in season, a compote of fresh fruits and sugar.

Here we propose a variant with the addition of hazelnut flour which makes the dough softer, also giving it a more delicate and refined taste.
