Equipment

  • 9" Lined Cake Tin (springform or loose bottomed)

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups Plain Flour - or use Gluten Free
  • ½ cup Ground Almonds
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
  • ½ cup Vegan Butter - at room temperature
  • ¾ cup Brown Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Egg Replacer, whisked up with 4 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tsp Almond Extract
  • ½ cup Vegan Yogurt - I like to use a vanilla flavour
  • 8 Stalks Rhubarb - trimmed and cut into 1" lengths

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180c
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, ground almonds, salt, baking powder and soda
  • Using hand mixer (or by hand), beat the butter and sugar until creamy
  • Beat in the vegan egg replacer and mix for another couple of minutes
  • Add the yogurt, vanilla and almond extracts and beat in
  • Finally, fold in the dry ingredients gradually until thoroughly combined
  • Pour mixture into prepared cake tin
  • Place your chopped rhubarb in one layer on top of the batter. The pattern is up to you!
  • Sprinkle a little more brown sugar over the top of the rhubarb
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cool completely before removing from cake tin.

Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
