Tired of strawberry rhubarb pie? Try my rhubarb cake recipe with almonds. It is easy, moist and delicious. Cut a slice and enjoy with a cup of coffee and a friend!
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 is 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.
My herb garden also produces sage. Learn how I save the sage by drying.

👩🍳 Chef 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 the 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.
