Rhubarb Cake

It is Rhubarb season!! I love this plant raw sprinkled with a bit of sugar and baked in a cake. It simply taste good no matter how it is prepared. It always reminds me of spring time at my grandma’s house and running in the garden together with my cousins. After a day spend outdoors my grandma used to give us a huge piece of rhubarb cake and a rhubarb compote to drink. So yeah year where this plant spreads its leaves I can’t wait to eat it!!

Today I want to share with you a rhubarb cake recipe. I hope you will like it as much as I do.

Cheers !!

Ingredients:

Rhubarb

1 tsp of vanilla sugar
250 g of butter
6 eggs
3 tbsp of natural yogurt (or sour cream)
1 tsp of baking powder
2 tbsp of fruit pudding powder (or 2tbsp of potato starch)

Recipe:

1. Sift flour and baking powder. Then add butter, egg yolks, yogurt, ¾ cup pf sugar and vanilla sugar. Combine everything together. Form a ball and place it in the fridge for 1 hour.

2. Peel the rhubarb, cut it in about 2 cm pieces and coat with a table spoon of sugar. Then let it aside.

3. Beat the eggs, then slowly mix in ¾ cup of sugar and then add fruit pudding powder and mix well.

4. Then take the dough out of the fridge divide it so that 1/5th is left and spread the bigger part on a baking dish. Spread rhubarb pieces as dense as you want, then cover everything with the marshmallow mousse and throw pieces of remining dough on top of the mousse. Bake everything in a preheated oven at 180oC for 50-55 minutes.

Enjoy!!
