Almond and Rhubarb Cake

Gluten, lactose, milk, nightshade, peanut, sesame, soya & wheat free

Can be eaten simply as a cake but has a sticky texture that would lend itself to being covered in custard or eaten with ice cream.

Serves 8

Ingredientsthe-alt-name

  • 160g soft brown sugar
  • 75g vegetable oil

  • 50g flaked almonds

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C / Gas 4.
  2. Grease and line the base of a 20cm loose bottom cake tin.
  3. Beat together the sugar, oil, eggs and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Stir in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and ground almonds.
  5. Gently fold the rhubarb and 30g of the flaked almonds into the batter.
  6. Pour into the prepared tin and sprinle over the rest of the flaked almonds.
  7. Bake for about 35 minutes until the cake springs back when you press it lightly or a skewer comes out clean.
  8. Serve warm as a pudding or eat it cold as a cake.
