RUSTIC RHUBARB CAKE

Ingredients
2 cups chopped rhubarb
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup organic cane sugar
1 large egg
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

For Topping:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.  Grease a round or square 10-inch pan with butter or olive oil.   In a medium bowl, combine cream, eggs & sugar and mix to combine.  Add flour, baking soda, salt & rhubarb to the bowl and stir until combined.  Pour into prepared pan.
Sprinkle with brown sugar and then almonds.  Bake for 20-35 minutes, depending on your oven.  If a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean--it is ready.
Serve plain, with coffee or with a dollop of whipped cream, yogurt, or ice cream if you like.

I love my cakes rustic, and judging by the ingredients, this one is no doubt absolutely lovely. Must try it with some summer rhubarb!

Yum! Can I use heavy whipping cream here? Or does it need to be regular whipping cream?

I adore rustic cakes! Anything that can be eaten at all times of day is excellent in my book.

Quick verification: No butter or oil at all?

I love your blog -- thanks, as always, for lovely thoughts and images!

Anonymous: I am sure you can, although I have not tried it. Give it a go!

Stacy: yes, no butter or oil. I guess the cream creates enough moisture.

Nice recipe!

Stacy said...

Jen, I made this and LOVED it -- and sadly just ate the last piece! I actually used milk as I had no cream, so I added 1 oz. of butter for a bit of fat to compensate. It was delicious and reminded me of my mother's rhubarb bread. Thank you!
