One of the oldest grain cereals in Estonia was barley.
Barley was the mundane and the ordinary food and belonged on the table for common people. The oldest data of barley growing in Estonia dates back to the beginning of the first millennium BC.
And we still love barley. Karask is a famous dish in Estonian ethnic cuisine. But add some apples, and you get very delicious, simple and juicy cake.

The cake looks so good! I’ve never baked with barley flour, not even sure if we have it here. I need to check, as I’m very intrigued by this! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
