I think you missed an ingredient: honey, how much?
Just for the sake of ethnicity-- many variations on Uke honey cake: traditional basic recipes call for only honey as cane sugar was imported, pricey and hard to find and honey was local. But if you were wealthier more ingredients were added like cane sugar, allspice, coffee etc. Your right on target with the buckwheat though.
sincerely,
peter
