Rhubarb Cake Recipe with Almonds. Easy, Moist, Delicious
I planted rhubarb in my garden several years ago because there are so many delicious possibilities when it comes to this ruby and green stalk vegetable. We are calling rhubarb a vegetable, aren't we? AND it comes back for up to 20 years!!! Seriously. I am going to be harvesting rhubarb for 20 years. So I BETTER come up with some delicious recipes.
This rhubarb cake recipe with almonds is so moist! I couldn't believe it. No ice cream, creme anglaise, or whipped cream needed on top of this cake! There may look like there is a LOT of rhubarb in this recipe but when it bakes, the rhubarb shrinks and releases all the tangy flavors into the sweet batter. It is a perfect balance.
Rhubarb Cake Recipe Ingredients:
- rhubarb, medium diced (about 6-7 foot long stalks)
- butter
- sugar
- eggs
- all purpose flour
- baking powder
- salt
- almonds, sliced
How to make rhubarb cake:
- Preheat oven.
- Mix flour, baking powder and salt.
- Cream butter with sugar.
- Add eggs.
- Slowly add the flour mixture.
- Fold in the cut rhubarb and transfer batter to the springform pan.
- Smooth the top. Sprinkle on the almonds.
- Bake about until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool on wire rack.
Rhubarb Cake tip:
- Place your springform pan on a sheet pan or wrap foil around it before placing in the oven. If your pan is not TIGHT it will leak and batter will drip on the bottom of the oven and burn. Your smoke alarms may or may not go off....not that I know from experience or anything.
How to get the cake out of the pan.
- Once cool, run a butter knife around the edge of the pan before releasing the springform pan. The almonds toast up nicely and add a lovely bite of crunch to this delicious cake.
