Hello Lovelies, I hope even if times aren't easy  that you are all healthy and still positive. I can hardly believe that the fourth week of the Corona Lockdown is coming. The last 3 weeks have somehow just flown by, it was not always easy and I have to say that homeschooling is very demanding for us and especially for our nerves. That's why I hardly did anything for the blog, photographed a few recipes but didn't write anything.

Of course we cooked and ate a lot, but I had little inspiration to create and take pictures. And that's okay, I don't think it will help anyone if you put additional pressure on yourself now. So that's juts a little update of our last weeks, but now for the delicious recipe that I created for you: a fine and simple rhubarb almond cake.

Rhubarb almond cake with flaked almonds in a round pan, freshly bakedI was very happy about the first rhubarb, because I especially like it. Preferably as a cake, compote or in a crumble, you can already find a recipe here on the blog.

For this rhubarb almond cake, I have replaced part of the flour with ground almonds, which gives the cake a particularly fine aroma. It also makes it nice and juicy. If you currently have or have no almonds, you can use more flour.

I think that crumbles definitely make every cake better, so they shouldn't be missing here either! They are also a good balance to the acidity of the rhubarb.

Most of you will probably celebrate Easter this year a little differently than planned. We would actually be on vacation, but will now have a brunch (the four of us) at home and the children can find their nest in the garden.

hope you try this delicious and light cake, or what do you like to bake with rhubarb? You can already find other recipes here, including a delicious tiramisu.

If you love rhubarb as much as I do, you should also try my vegan rhubarb yogurt cake or the fruity rhubarb berry crumble - both come together just as easily as this almond cake.

In any case, I wish you nice Easter days with your loved ones!

TIPS

Verena's notes

Tip from my kitchen: the crumble is the perfect balance to the tartness of the rhubarb, so do not leave it out. If you do not have almonds on hand, you can replace them with the same amount of flour.

GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions

  • young, thin rhubarb usually does not need peeling, a thorough wash is enough. for thicker, stringy stalks it is better to pull off the outer skin so the cake stays nice and tender.

  • yes, swap the flour for a gluten-free flour blend at the same ratio. since a large part of the batter is already ground almonds, the cake stays wonderfully moist.

  • a greased springform pan 24–26 cm (9-10 inch) in diameter is ideal. it bakes the cake evenly and lets you release it easily once it has cooled.

  • covered, it keeps for 2–3 days and the almonds keep it especially moist. you can also freeze it in portions and thaw as needed.

  • yes, simply replace the ground almonds with the same amount of flour. the cake will be a little less aromatic and moist, but still turns out reliably.
