This cake tastes like home! My dad is a fantastic cook and baker. When he was around 21 years old, he took over the restaurant of my grandparents. Maybe this explains why I really love to cook and bake myself. My dad always has the best recipes and everytime he's trying out something new, I also have to give it a try. Because it's rhubarb season at the moment, he made this cake for the birthday of my sister in law the other day. And it was so delicious that I made one myself to show you guys. Here's the recipe:
- 1 bunch rhubarb
- 200 g butter (soft but not liquid)
- 200 g sugar
- 100 g grated nuts + 100 g flour (or 200 g flour, rather than nuts)
- 4 eggs
- lemon zest
- 1 sacket vanilla sugar
- 1 sacke baking powder
Beat butter, sugar, egg yolk, lemon zest and vanilla sugar until fluffy. Beat egg white and fold it in. Then, fold in nuts and/or flour and baking powder. Then put the dough into a cake tin.
Cut rhubarb into small pieces (approx. 5 mm) - you don't need to peel it but make sure you cut of the ends. Mix the rhubarb with a bit of sugar and then place it on the dough. Preheat oven to 170°C and bake the cake for 50 min. The cake should be covered with another baking tin or baking tray for the first 30 minutes so that the rhubarb won't become too dark.
