Notes
Tip from my kitchen: young rhubarb stalks can go in unpeeled, but for thicker ones it is better to pull off the stringy skin. for the upside-down version it is worth laying out a pretty pattern with the rhubarb, since it looks lovely once you turn the cake out. for the crumble cake, the ground almonds add a fine aroma that pairs beautifully with rhubarb. of course you can make only one version and bake a whole tray: simply double the ingredients for the topping and increase the baking time by about 5–10 minutes. covered, the cake stays moist for 2–3 days.
